Clinical Outcomes of XEN45 Gel Stent Implantation (Ab Externo, Open Conjunctival Approach) versus Trabeculectomy: A Real-World Study
Compared to trabeculectomy, XEN surgery (ab externo, open conjunctiva) showed relatively lower effectiveness (surgical success rate, IOP reduction). However, it demonstrated advantages as a minimally invasive glaucoma surgery, including a surgical success rate approaching about 80%, stability in inducing corneal astigmatism, fewer postoperative complications, and shorter operation times.
