“…Until today, few studies exist comparing the surgical outcome of trabeculectomy combined with MMC and the implantation of a XEN gelstent [8,9,16,17]. Schlenker et al compared the rate of surgical failure after trabeculectomy and XEN gelstent implantation, which directly corresponds to surgical success.…”

“…Few studies have yet compared both filtering surgeries, XEN gelstent implantation and trabeculectomy. To this date, no prospective randomized clinical trial exists that compares the two procedures [8,9]. Most recently, Schlenker et al found that there were no detectable evidence of differences in the risk of failure or safety profiles between the two surgical procedures [9].…”

“…In line with our findings, a previous study reported that GSS scores were significantly lower in patients requiring two or more eye drops per day [ 27 ]. In a study by Basilio et al [ 28 ], GSS scores were compared between patients who underwent minimal invasive glaucoma surgery with Xen ® and trabeculectomy. They did not find a difference between the two groups, but they found a strong negative correlation between the administration of topical anti-hypertensive drugs and GSS scores.…”

“…It has been shown that XEN implantation goes along with a higher rate of bleb needling or revision surgery and this increase is probably explained by increased usage of these implants. 30 , 31 …”

“…It has been shown that XEN implantation goes along with a higher rate of bleb needling or revision surgery and this increase is probably explained by increased usage of these implants. 30,31 Another potential factor that might affect the numbers and rates of procedures performed is the role that advertising has for newer procedures compared to older ones. Latest procedures are well advertised and recommended within the group of ophthalmologists and ophthalmic surgeons but might lose their place in the spotlight to newer procedures after a while and therefore be performed less often.…”
