摘要
Xen凝胶支架(Allergan, Irvine, CA, USA)是一种长6毫米的亲水性胶原凝胶管,它在前房和结膜下空间之间建立了一个通道,允许房水流出。XEN是一种内置的微创青光眼手术设备,具有更好的安全性,并提供了一种侵入性更小的降低眼压的方法。不幸的是,它的一个缺点是在手术中很难看到植入物,而且这种困难可能会加剧,例如,结膜下出血。本文的目的是描述一种简单有效的技术来改善植入过程中器件的可视化(xen45 μm)。Ramovecchi V, Franco F, Barbera GR.

XEN Gel Staining with Trypan Blue: A Simple and Effective Technique to Improve Device Visualization during Implantation.
The Xen Gel Stent (Allergan, Irvine, CA, USA) is a hydrophilic collagen-based gelatin tube of 6 mm in length which creates a channel of communication between the anterior chamber and the subconjunctival space allowing aqueous humor outflow. XEN is an ab interno, minimally invasive, glaucoma surgery device which has a better safety profile and offers a less invasive way of lowering intraocular pressure. Unfortunately, one of its weaknesses is that visualization of the implant during surgery is difficult, and this difficulty may be exacerbated, for instance, by a subconjunctival hemorrhage. The purpose of this paper is to describe a simple and effective technique for improving device visualization (XEN 45 μm) during the implantation.
