description Abstract Background To compare the surgical outcomes and postoperative complications with and without Ologen collagen matrix augmentation during XEN gel stent implantation. Methods We retrospectively analyzed patients who underwent XEN gel stent implantation with an ab externo technique. The amount of intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction, percentage of postoperative complications and additional management, and surgical success defined as IOP reduction greater than 20% compared with the preoperative IOP measurement were compared between Ologen-augmented and non-augmented groups. Groups of patients who underwent XEN gel stent implantation alone and combined with phacoemulsification were analyzed separately. Results A total 103 eyes of 103 participants were included. Of those, 72 eyes underwent standalone XEN gel stent implantation: 42 eyes with Ologen augmentation (Oloxen group) and 30 eyes without Ologen augmentation (Xen group). Thirty-one eyes underwent XEN gel stent implantation with phacoemulsification: 19 eyes with Ologen augmentation (Phaco-Oloxen group) and 12 eyes without Ologen augmentation (PhacoXen group). The surgical success rate at six months postoperatively was not different between the Oloxen and Xen groups (56.4% vs 43.3%, P > 0.05) or between the Phaco-Oloxen group and PhacoXen group (57.9% vs 41.7%, P > 0.05). The prevalence of postoperative hypotony, 5-fluorouracil injections, use of anti-glaucoma medications, bleb needling, and additional glaucoma surgeries was not different between the Oloxen and Xen groups or between the Phaco-Oloxen and PhacoXen groups when assessed six months postoperatively. Conclusions All groups showed significant IOP reduction after XEN gel stent implantation, but there was no significant difference between the Ologen collagen matrix augmented and non-augmented groups in surgical outcomes.
