Glaucoma Gel Implant Learning Curve in a Teaching Tertiary Hospital.

XEN gel stent was associated with a fast learning curve, by both experienced surgeons and novice residents. By the sixth implant, both groups had considerably decreased mean surgical time and complication rates.

Automated Gonioscopy Assessment of XEN45 Gel Stent Angle Location After Isolated XEN or Combined Phaco-XEN Procedures: Clinical Implications.

Different locations of XEN45 did not seem to significantly impact late success and safety outcomes, although stents inserted more posteriorly may be associated with a higher rate of early complications.

XEN-augmented Baerveldt surgical success rate and comparison with the Ahmed Valve.

The Baerveldt-XEN disclosed a low complete success rate at 1 year of follow-up, although with no major safety concerns.
