Factors impacting gas fill after microincision vitrectomy surgery combined with fluid–gas exchange

Faster recovery after 25-gauge microincision vitrectomy surgery than after 20-gauge vitrectomy in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy

BACKGROUND AND METHODS We compared surgical procedures and outcomes, including duration of recovery period, in eyes with proliferative diabetic retinopathy that underwent 25-gauge microincision vitrectomy surgery with those that underwent 20-gauge vitrectomy. Seventy-two eyes from 53 patients that underwent 20-gauge vitrectomy in 2006 and 87 eyes from 55 patients that underwent 25-gauge vitrect...

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

Role of bevacizumab in the prevention of early postoperative haemorrhage after 25-gauge microincision vitrectomy surgery

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of preoperative intravitreal bevacizumab injection on the incidence of postoperative haemorrhage and visual prognosis, in patients undergoing 25-gauge micro incision vitrectomy surgery (MIVS) for diabetic vitreous haemorrhage. METHODS One hundred and twenty two eyes of 122 patients of diabetic retinopathy of both genders and aged over 18 years, who presented w...

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...

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...
