Combined DSEK and Transconjunctival Pars Plana Vitrectomy

Surgical outcomes of 23-gauge transconjunctival pars plana vitrectomy combined with lensectomy for glaucomatous eyes with extremely shallow anterior chamber and cataract

BACKGROUND Glaucoma combined with an extremely shallow anterior chamber and cataracts remains as a complex condition to deal with. And the emergence of microincision vitrectomy surgery (MIVS) system may provide an ideal option for the treatment of that. We report a clinical study of surgical outcomes of 23-gauge transconjunctival pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) combined with lensectomy in the treat...

Intraoperative retinal tear formation and postoperative rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in transconjunctival cannulated vitrectomy systems compared with the standard 20-gauge system.

OBJECTIVE To compare 20-gauge standard pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with transconjunctival cannulated PPV in the development of intraoperative retinal breaks and postoperative rhegmatogenous retinal detachments (RRDs) in a large series of patients undergoing PPV for macular pucker or macular hole. METHODS This study was conducted at an academic tertiary care vitreoretinal practice in Milwaukee...

Advances in Vitreo-retinal Surgery: 23-gauge Sutureless Pars Plana Vitrectomy

Pars plana vitrectomy is one of the most common surgical procedures performed for the treatment of various vitreo-retinal diseases such as retinal detachment, vitreous haemorrhage, proliferative diabetic retinopathy, epiretinal membrane and macular hole. Traditionally, most vitrectomy surgical systems utilise the 20-gauge instruments pars plana vitrectomy includes multiple incisions including p...

A Phacovitrectomy with a Clear Corneal Incision for a Full-Thickness Macular Hole

PURPOSE To describe the results of a pars plana vitrectomy, combined with phacoemulsification, using a sutureless, superotemporal, clear corneal incision for patients with a macular hole. METHODS This study reviewed the records of 22 patients (22 eyes) who underwent a phacoemulsification with the insertion of an acrylic intraocular lens, using a 3.2 mm superotemporal clear corneal incision an...
