The patient did not use anti-glaucoma medication before trauma and intraocular pressures (IOPs) were under the control. In his examination, IOP values were 14 mmHg on the right eye and 24 mmHg on the left eye. There was no problem in Xen gel stent of his right eye and the bleb function was normal, but the stent in his left eye was displaced almost completely towards the anterior chamber. The bleb formation in his left eye had disappeared completely. Xen gel stent was caught with the forceps and carefully removed. Trabeculectomy was performed around at 12 o?clock position for IOP control in same session. No complications were encountered during the operation. In the one-year follow-up, IOP was in the range of 12-14 mm Hg and visual acuity was preserved. Keywords : Glaucoma, MIGS, Xen gel stent, trabeculectomy
