This technique has been shown to offer long-term outcomes equivalent to filtering surgery[1]. The XEN gel implant (Allergan Inc., CA, USA) is one of MIGS procedures. This implant consists of a 6-mm tube of collagen-derived gelatin cross-linked with glutaraldehyde, preloaded in an injector.展开更多

Early complications include wound leaks, responsible for ocular hypotony and serous choroidal detachment, and bleb fibrosis. Postoperative hyphema is also a well-known complication, most frequently induced by iris bleeding from the peripheral iridotomy. In most cases, bleeding occurs in the first months after surgery.展开更多
