The patient had very limited mobile conjunctiva due to scarring caused by the earlier surgery, which limited their options for glaucoma surgery. The XEN gel stent, a minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) procedure that does not require opening the conjunctiva, was implanted in the subconjunctival space using an ab interno approach. Postoperative blebs were imaged using anterior segment optical coherence tomography, and IOP was monitored over six months. This study found that the XEN gel stent effectively controlled the IOP, and there were no complications during or after surgery. This case report may expand the indication for the XEN gel stent, which could be considered a viable option for patients who have undergone scleral buckling and have limited mobile conjunctiva.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm12134293","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,27]],"date-time":"2023-06-27T02:11:22Z","timestamp":1687831882000},"page":"4293","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["XEN Gel Stent for Conjunctiva with Minimal Mobility Caused by Scleral Encircling: A Case Report"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Yuri","family":"Kim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Bundang CHA Medical Center, CHA University, Seongnam 13496, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Myungjin","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Bundang CHA Medical Center, CHA University, Seongnam 13496, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9155-5092","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dai Woo","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, School of Medicine, Kyungpook National University, Daegu 41944, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Seungsoo","family":"Rho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Bundang CHA Medical Center, CHA University, Seongnam 13496, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"189","article-title":"Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery: Current status and future prospects","volume":"10","author":"Richter","year":"2016","journal-title":"Clin.
