Impact of the restrictive technique on outcomes in Baerveldt-350 implant surgery
Adding the rip cord stent to the Baerveldt implant significantly enhances long-term IOP control and reduces failure rates compared with TL alone. The lower incidence of hypertensive phases could be due to sequential tube opening. Small sample size, lack of randomisation and follow-up discrepancies may introduce bias and limit statistical power, highlighting the need for further research to confirm these conclusions.
