How to Rescue of the Dislocated XEN® Gel Stent: A New Surgical Approach on XEN Dislocation and Narrative Review
The study presents an effective, conservative management method for repositioning dislocated XEN63 gel stents using an ab externo approach. This technique offers a less traumatic alternative to current practices by avoiding the need for additional devices or scleral pocket creation. The accompanying mini-review provides a comprehensive overview of XEN dislocation, enhancing the strategy for managing such complications. Further research, including broader case series or comparative studies, is essential to solidify these findings.
