Management of fracture and displacement of a previously successful bilateral transconjunctival ab-externo XEN gel stent: a case report
The case highlights that external force and needling can cause XGS fracture and displacement. To reduce this risk, employing a transconjunctival ab-externo approach with conjunctival dissection and securing the XGS with sutures was found to decrease complications, indicating a more effective surgical strategy for XGS implantation.
