Purpose: The Xen gel stent is a surgical glaucoma device which creates a subconjunctival filtering bleb, which has demonstrated good intraocular pressure (IOP) lowering and safety. Nonetheless, bleb-related problems have been reported. We present a case series of ab externo Xen procedures augmented with a deep intra-scleral lake, aiming to improve both IOP-lowering and post-operative management.

Introduction: Bilateral congenital ectropion uveae (CEU) is rare syndrome, usually accompanied by refractory glaucoma. Proper and timely treatment was very important for the prognosis. The report aims to compare the long-term outcomes and complications between the two eyes after different approaches of surgery in a case of bilateral CEU with advanced glaucoma.

Aim And Background: The present case report describes a novel surgical technique combining XEN gel stent implantation and deep sclerectomy: XEN-augmented deep sclerectomy (XEN-DS).
Case Description: An active 96-year-old Caucasian woman suffering from pseudoexfoliative glaucoma (PEXG) presented with intraocular pressure (IOP) of 24 mm Hg and a double arcuate visual field defect [mean deviation (MD) -9.6 dB] in her only functional eye despite maximal medical therapy.

We aimed to evaluate the safety and clinical efficacy of microcatheter-assisted trabeculotomy combined with deep sclerectomy and trabeculectomy (MATT-DS-Trab) in the surgical management of advanced primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). According to the inclusion criteria, we retrospectively collected and analyzed 37 POAG cases in advanced stage who received MATT-DS-Trab. The intraocular pressure (IOP), best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), use of anti-glaucoma drugs, shape of the filtering bleb, size of the scleral lake, complications, and the surgical success rate were recorded.

Currently, there are numerous choices for the treatment of pediatric glaucoma depending on the type of glaucoma, the age of the patient, and other particularities of the condition discussed in this review. Traditionally, goniotomy and trabeculotomy ab externo have been the preferred choices of treatment for congenital glaucoma, and a variety of adult procedures adapted to children have been utilized for other types of pediatric glaucoma with variable results and complications. More recently, seton implantations of different types have become more popular to use in children, and newer techniques have become available including visualized cannulation and opening of Schlemm's canal, deep sclerectomy, trabectome, and milder more directed cyclodestructive procedures such as endolaser and transcleral diode laser cyclophotocoagulation.
