Popis:	The XEN Gel Stent (Allergan Inc., an Abbvie company) is an implant that lowers intraocular pressure by creating a filtration pathway from the anterior chamber to the subconjunctival space, using the same pathway as trabeculectomy. While the primary method for implantation is via ab interno approach, it is also possible to implant the device ab externo. This technique paper details the surgical steps for closed conjunctival implantation of the Gel Stent and provides surgical pearls for enhancing outcomes.
