Popis: To verify the efficacy in intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction and safety of the smallest gel stent (XEN 45 Gel Stent) microincisional glaucoma surgery combined with microincisional cataract surgery (MICS). Nonrandomized prospective clinical study. Forty-one eyes of 33 patients with open-angle glaucoma underwent a XEN 45 Gel Stent implantation combined with MICS. Treatment outcomes analyzed included: IOP, medication use, intra- and postoperative complications. At the end of the follow-up, we evaluated the complete success, defined as a postoperative IOP ≥ 6 and ≤17 mmHg without glaucoma medications and the qualified success defined as a postoperative IOP ≥ 6 and ≤17 mmHg, with glaucoma medications. The mean preoperative IOP was 22.5 ± 3.7 mmHg on 2.5 ± 0.9 medication classes. After 12 months, the mean postoperative IOP was 13.1 ± 2.4 mmHg (mean IOP reduction of 41.82%) with a mean of 0.4 ± 0.8 medication classes (P
