  Fig. 1 Anterior segment photographs of (A–C) intraoperative and (D) postoperative intraluminal stenting of the tube using two 5-0 nylon threads. Two threads of 5-0 nylon were (A,B) stented and (C) cut with an ab interno approach. (E,F) To reduce the risk of stent displacement, bent threads can be used.
