To evaluate the prevalence and risk factors of neovascular glaucoma (NVG) after vitrectomy in patients with vitreous hemorrhage associated with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). This retrospective, noncomparative, observational study included 127 eyes of 127 patients with PDR who received vitrectomy with a follow-up period of at least 6 months. The prevalence of NVG and associated risk ...

INTRODUCTION We present a case of a man with optic disc pit maculopathy, whose vision improved after vitrectomy combined with glial tissue removal from the optic pit area, and without the use of photocoagulation. CASE PRESENTATION A 45-year-old man complained of blurred vision, and ophthalmoscopy revealed a retinal detachment and retinoschisis extending from an optic disc pit through the macu...

AIM To evaluate outcome of vitrectomy performed at the time of phacoemulsification complicated by intravitreal lens material. METHODS Clinical records associated with consecutive 8536 phacoemulsification procedures were reviewed retrospectively. RESULTS 17 (0.20%) eyes had a posterior capsule rupture with retained lens material in the vitreous cavity that required vitrectomy. Final visual a...

BACKGROUND Studies on vitrectomy with and without internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling for idiopathic epiretinal membrane (ERM) have yielded uncertain results regarding clinical outcomes and recurrence rates. OBJECTIVE To compare the clinical outcomes of vitrectomy with and without ILM peeling for idiopathic ERM. METHODS Databases, including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, Web of Science, Goo...

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence, risk factors, and treatment of elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) 1 year after vitrectomy in eyes without a history of glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Patients and methods This retrospective study comprised 256 eyes from 256 consecutive patients without a history of glaucoma or ocular hypertension who underwent vitrectomy and...

To evaluate the use of endoscopy-assisted vitrectomy in patients with sight-threatening Bacillus cereus endophthalmitis.A retrospective analysis was conducted in 15 eyes with Bacillus cereus endophthalmitis. Patients were divided into 2 groups: endoscopy-assisted vitrectomy (5 eyes) and conventional vitrectomy (10 eyes). The following clinical data were recorded and analyzed: sex, age, latent p...

INTRODUCTION We encountered a patient with Klinefelter syndrome (KS) who experienced poor outcomes after vitrectomy for proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). CASE A 44-year-old male with poorly controlled diabetes was diagnosed with KS by chromosome analysis. Ocular findings revealed severe PDR complicated with extensive preretinal hemorrhages and traction retinal detachment in his left e...

S mall-gauge sutureless pars plana vitrectomy reduces postoperative inflammation at the sclerotomy sites in comparison with conventional 20-gauge sutured pars plana vitrectomy, thus decreasing patient discomfort postoperatively and hastening recovery.1-5 Despite the clinical advantages of smaller diameter vitrectomy systems, they pose significant challenges in vitreous removal as they decrease ...

BACKGROUND Pars plana vitrectomy is the only treatment for advanced proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). However, vitrectomy is not always successful despite current progress in vitreoretinal surgical techniques. The aim of our study was to investigate whether the vitreal concentrations of MCP-1, IL-6, IL-8, and VEGF are elevated after unsuccessful vitrectomy in patients with PDR and to in...

We report 2 cases illustrating the use of a new technique to manage vitreous loss during phacoemulsification, which we have termed 'trimanual' anterior vitrectomy. In each case, after recognizing posterior capsule tear, the remaining nuclear pieces were removed with low-parameter phacoemulsification. The remaining cortical material was then removed using bimanual irrigation and aspiration handp...
