Perioperative findings. Before surgical revision, a giant conjunctival cyst (a) and dellen formation (b) stained with fluorescein are observed in the superotemporal quadrant in the left eye. During the bleb recession revision surgery, bleb capsule is dissected bluntly from the sclera and the conjunctiva (c, arrow). The anterior edge of the dissected bleb capsule is re-fixed on the sclera using two interrupted 10–0 absorbable sutures at the anterior edge of the Ahmed glaucoma valve plate (d, e). The conjunctiva is readapted with 10–0 absorbable sutures (f). A slit-lamp observation at 3 months postoperatively shows the findings around the corneal limbus (g) and the Ahmed glaucoma valve plate (h). Anterior segment optical coherence tomography performed 3 months postoperatively shows the findings around the Ahmed glaucoma valve tube (i) and the plate (j). The red arrows indicate the anterior edge of the Ahmed glaucoma valve plate
