Management of conjunctival perforation and late Seidel after XEN ® surgery.

DISCUSSION: Conjunctival exposure of the XEN® stent is a rare but potentially serious complication. To avoid it, a meticulous surgical technique is important when implanting it. If this occurs, it is important to identify the cause. If it is due to a short subconjunctival portion, a therapeutic alternative is to cut the implant at this level to avoid further complications.
