چکیده
purpose : to compare postoperative anatomical sclerotomy sites of transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy (tsv) with conventional 20-gauge vitrectomy methods : in this prospective, nonrandomized study 30 consecutive patients divided in 2 groups: group i, 15 eyes from 15 patients underwent conventional 20-gauge and group ii, 15 eyes from 15 patients underwent tsv (23, 25-gauge) pars plana vitrectomy (ppv). wound gap, wound healing, vitreous incarceration and fibrovascular ingrowth (fvig) at the sites of sclerotomy were assessed using ultrasound biomicroscopy (ubm) at week 8, postoperatively. results : in group 1 (conventional), healing of infusion cannula, vitrectomy and illuminating sites had occurred in 53.3%, 60% and 66.7% of patients. in group 2 (tsv), healing of infusion cannula, vitrectomy and illuminating sites occurred in 66.7%, 66.7% and 80% of patients. there was no significant difference between the two groups. fvig was solely observed in diabetic patients in total sclerotomy sites (9 patients, 27 sclerotomy sites in conventional and 8 patients, 24 sites in tsv group). fvig occurred in 7/27 sites (25.9%) in 20-gauge group and 5/24 sites (20.8%) in tsv group which was not significantly different (p=0.18). wound gap was not found in any patient of the two groups. the overall comparison of sclerotomy sites (45 sites in each group) showed no significant difference regarding wound healing and vitreous incarceration. no case of ocular hypotony or endophthalmitis was observed at the end of follow-up time. conclusion : based on the ubm images of sclerotomy sites, there were no significant differences, in vitreous incarceration, wound healing, wound gap and fvig between tsv and conventional ppv. iranian journal of ophthalmology 201022(3):17-22 © 2010 by the iranian society of ophthalmology

متن کاملUltrasound biomicroscopy findings of 25 G Transconjuctival sutureless (TSV) and conventional (20G) pars plana sclerotomy in the same patient
BACKGROUND Transconjunctival Sutureless Vitrectomy (TSV) is a recent advancement in vitreo-retinal surgical techniques involving the use of 25 G instruments through self-sealing sclerotomies. It has been hypothesized that there may be less chance of vitreous and retinal herniation in the scleral wound as compared to conventional sclerotomy incision. However there are no reports on differences i...
متن کاملSclerotomy for pars plana vitrectomy.
Closed vitrectomy has largely supplanted the 'open sky' method, particularly because it results in minimal interference with the integrity of the globe. Ideally the pars plana sclerotomy should be sufficiently watertight to allow the intraocular pressure to be maintained during surgery without impeding free movement of the vitrectomy instrument within the eye. We describe a sclerotomy technique...

متن کاملIncidence of endophthalmitis after 23-gauge pars plana vitrectomy
BACKGROUND Endophthalmitis is a rare but severe complication following PPV. The incidence of endophthalmitis varies between 20-gauge, 23-gauge, and 25-gauge incisions. The incidence and clinical features of endophthalmitis after 23-gauge PPV in an eye hospital in China was reported in this study. METHODS Data of the eyes that underwent 23-gauge PPV from January 2011 to December 2014 at the Ey...
متن کاملFour cases of endophthalmitis after 25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy
We report our recent experience with four cases of endophthalmitis (one male, three females) after 25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy (PPV). One was a case of persistent cystoid macular edema caused by branch retinal vein occlusion, whereas the remaining three were cases of epiretinal membrane. Preoperative antibiotics before the first PPV procedure were not administered in three of the four cases....
