Popis: AIM: To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of XEN drainage tube implantation combined with mitomycin C(MMC)for open angle glaucoma(OAG).METHODS:A total of 37 OAG patients(37 eyes)were retrospectively included, grouped by anti-glaucoma surgical treatment as the first choice or not, with 17 patients(17 eyes)in the group with primary surgical treatment, and 20 patients(20 eyes)in the group with the numerous surgeries. The intraocular pressure(IOP), kinds of IOP-lowering drugs, and complications were collected and analyzed in 1 a follow-up postoperatively.RESULTS:Upon the one-year follow-up, IOP had decreased from 27.56±9.94, 28.43±14.18 mmHg to 15.16±3.65, 17.18±5.83 mmHg in both groups, respectively, representing a reduction of 55.01% and 60.43%, respectively(t=4.863, P
