This chapter of the standard textbook deals with all the topics related to GDD implantation. A must for all ophthalmologists dealing with GDD.

Baerveldt implantation is effective in controlling IOP elevation associated with neovascular glaucoma; however, postoperative visual loss, despite adequate IOP control, is common.

Failure of GDD implantation is mainly due to a typical scarring process similar to conventional filtering surgery; modulation of wound healing may improve success rates.

Experimental in vivo study confirms that the major resistance to aqueous flow is built up by the bleb surrounding the GDD-plate rather than by any flow-resisting (ie, valve) system.
