Specific postoperative complications, such as tube exposure and conjunctival erosion, have occurred despite the favorable surgical outcomes of tube shunt surgeries for refractory glaucoma. The new autologous scleral pocket technique is performed by inserting the tube into the vitreous cavity without using a donor scleral patch. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the surgical results of Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) implantation using this technique for neovascular glaucoma (NVG), which is one of the representative refractory types of glaucoma. This observational retrospective case series included 15 consecutive eyes of 15 patients with NVG who had undergone AGV implantation at Kobe University between January 2018 and December 2019. The mean preoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) was 37.2 ± 13.8 mmHg and the glaucoma drug score was 4.2 ± 2.2. The mean IOP and glaucoma drug score at 1 year postoperatively decreased to 15.0 ± 4.6 mmHg and 1.3 ± 2.0, respectively (p < 0.001). No significant change in the corneal endothelial cell density following surgery was observed (p = 0.09); however, one patient required an additional trabeculectomy at 7 months postoperatively. No cases of tube exposure or conjunctival erosion were observed at 1 year postoperatively. These results indicated the effectiveness and safety of this technique in patients with NVG.
