Evaluation of Microincision Vitrectomy Surgery Using Wide-Viewing System for Complications With Ocular Sarcoidosis

Evaluation of Microincision Vitrectomy Surgery Using Wide-Viewing System for Complications With Ocular Sarcoidosis

We evaluate the outcomes of microincision vitrectomy surgery (MIVS) using wide-viewing system for complications with ocular sarcoidosis resistance to medical treatment.Consecutive clinical records of 24 eyes (19 patients) with complications of ocular sarcoidosis underwent MIVS between April 2010 and December 2013 were retrospectively reviewed. MIVS and phacoemulsification were performed in 18 e...

Heads-Up Macular Surgery with a 27-Gauge Microincision Vitrectomy System and Minimal Illumination

OBJECTIVE We combined heads-up 3-dimensional (3D) 27-gauge microincision vitrectomy surgery (27GMIVS) with a very low-intensity illumination system. METHODS This study was based on a retrospective, interventional case series of 6 eyes of 6 patients with macular disease. All patients underwent heads-up 3D 27GMIVS and the power of the intraocular illuminator was set to its minimum level, 1% (ap...

Microbiological Analysis of Office-based three-port Microincision Vitrectomy Surgery

Hybrid wide-angle viewing-endoscopic vitrectomy using a 3D visualization system

Purpose To introduce a hybrid wide-angle viewing-endoscopic vitrectomy, which we have reported, using a 3D visualization system developed recently. Subjects and methods We report a single center, retrospective, consecutive surgical case series of 113 eyes that underwent 25 G vitrectomy (rhegmatogenous retinal detachment or proliferative vitreoretinopathy, 49 eyes; epiretinal membrane, 18 eyes...

Evaluation of the vitreous microbial contamination rate in office-based three-port microincision vitrectomy surgery using Retrector technology

BACKGROUND To perform a microbiological contamination analysis of the vitreous during office-based micro-incision vitrectomy surgery (MIVS) assessing whether the bacteria detected correlated with patient's ocular conjunctival flora. METHODS This is a prospective, interventional, nonrandomized case series of patients undergoing office-based MIVS, anti-VEGF, and dexamethasone intravitreal injec...
