Abstract: Purpose: to evaluate the hypotensive efficacy and safety of Xenoplast drainage in non-penetrating surgery of primary open-angle glaucoma. Materials and methods. The analysis of the medical records of 157 patients (157 eyes) with primary open-angle glaucoma who underwent hypotensive non-penetrating surgery (non-penetrating deep sclerectomy — NDSE) using Xenoplast drainage (group 1) and without drainage (group 2). The results were evaluated for up to 36 months. Results. The positive effect of the operation, including absolute and relative success, was 96% in group 1 on day 6, then gradually decreased and was 74 % after 36 months. In group 2, the positive effect was 100 % and decreased to 58 % at the appropriate time of follow-up. In both groups, in the early postoperative period, there was a low percentage of eye complications (5.4 % and 4.8 %), typical for non-penetrating antiglaucoma surgeries. The number of descemetogoniopunctures, performed as the second stage of NDSE, was insufficient, both in the 1st group — 42 %, and in the 2nd — 51 %. Conclusion. All of the above points to the advantage of using Xenoplast drainage during non-penetrating deep sclerectomy.
