Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery includes different devices which provide a less invasive and safer means of reducing intraocular pressure. The XEN Gel Stent (Allergan Inc., CA) is an ab interno procedure which creates a subconjunctival drainage pathway. It is a new surgical device and there is a paucity of data on complications and their management. We report a clinical case of a leaking bleb after XEN surgery managed by bleb revision, conjunctival suturing, and XEN replacement.
微创青光眼手术包括不同的设备,这些设备提供了一种侵入性更小、更安全的降低眼内压的方法。XEN 凝胶支架(Allergan Inc.,CA)是一种经内路手术,它创建了一个巩膜下引流途径。这是一种新的手术设备,关于其并发症及其处理的数据很少。我们报告了一例 XEN 手术后出现渗漏性滤泡的临床病例,该病例通过滤泡修正、结膜缝合和 XEN 置换进行治疗。
