ABSTRACT
Glaucoma filtration surgery has been a standard surgical therapy for decades. An increasing knowledge about wound healing processes in the eye, the introduction of antimetabolite treatment and continuous improvements of the surgical technique helped making trabeculectomy - the prototype filtration surgery - a very effective therapeutic tool. However, best results will only be regularly achieved with a high level of experience and time dedicated to postoperative follow-up. Furthermore, the potential for severe early and late complications still remains high. Thus, novel stent-based filtration surgery approaches, such as the Preserflo and the XEN shunt have been introduced. This review presents these three bleb-forming filtration procedures, covering the basic principles of surgical technique, data on effectivity as well as complications.
