Precis:Malposition of the tube through the ciliary sulcus is more frequently observed with the Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) than the Baerveldt drainage implant (BDI) due to the weaker rigidity of the Ahmed tube.Purpose:To report intraoperative and early postoperative complications of ciliary sulcus tube insertion of glaucoma drainage implants (GDIs).Patients and Methods:We performed retrospective analysis of 104 eyes of 94 patients with GDI tube insertion through the ciliary sulcus were performed. The rigidities of tubes were also examined using a microcompression tester.Results:The mean observation period was 20.0 (range, 6 to 60) months. Thirteen eyes were treated with the BDI and 91 were with the AGV. The mean age of the patients was 69.3 (34 to 90) years. The mean intraocular pressure was 27.9 mm Hg before surgery and 12.9 mm Hg after surgery (P
