| description | AIM: To preliminarily evaluate the efficacy and safety of XEN drainage tube implantation in the treatment of refractory glaucoma.METHODS: The clinical data of 10 patients(11 eyes)with refractory glaucoma who underwent XEN gel drainage tube implantation in Peking University Third Hospital from September 2021 to January 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were followed-up for 8-12mo after surgery, the intraocular pressure(IOP)and the use of IOP lowering medication were observed, and the effect of the surgery was evaluated.RESULTS: The highest IOP was 21-55(median 35)mmHg before surgery and 10-40(median 15)mmHg at the last follow-up. There were 2-4(median 4)kinds of IOP lowering drugs before operation and 0-4(median 0)kinds of IOP lowering drugs at the last follow-up. Up to the last follow-up, the surgery was successful in 8 eyes and unsuccessful in 3 eyes.CONCLUSION: Implantation of XEN gel drainage tube is a safe and effective method for the treatment of refractory glaucoma. |
