Objective To assess pre-operative conditions that could influence primary anatomical success rate in a cohort of patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachments (RRD) treated vitrectomy and no scleral buckling. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed group underwent pars plana gas tamponade without buckling for RRD between 2014 2019, minimum follow-up 4 months. Results 305 eyes 301 were...

T he common thinking regarding surgical wounds is that “much smaller is much better.” Based on this concept, microincision vitrectomy surgery (MIVS) with 25or 23-gauge instruments has taken over from conventional 20-gauge vitrectomy in many cases, and the technology has evolved radically during the past several years. Along with the development of ergonomic instrumentation and new-generation vi...

Vitrectomy was performed on 25 eyes in 21 patients with chronic uveitis from various etiologies. Postoperative follow up averaged 22.8 months with visual improvement in 24 of 25 eyes. In this retrospective study, the techniques employed and the beneficial effect of vitrectomy alone or vitrectomy combined with cataract surgery (Iensectomy in most cases) on improving vision and decreasing th...

Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) refers to the of central retinal or primary and secondary branches caused by multiple factors. Clinical treatments for it include intravitreal systemic vasodilator application, local usage steroids NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), thrombolysis, hemodilution, laser photocoagulation, vitrectomy with vascular sheath incision, chorioretinal venous anastomo...

Summary We evaluated the clinical outcomes for ophthalmic endoscope-assisted vitrectomy in consecutive patients with uncomplicated rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). The primary success rate was 98.4% (125/127) without performing a posterior drainage retinotomy or using perfluorocarbon liquids (PFCL) for subretinal fluid drainage. Purpose To investigate the clinical outcomes of endoscop...

AIM To report the results of combined vitrectomy, lensectomy and silicone oil (SO) tamponade in treating primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) associated with choroidal detachment (CD). METHODS A retrospective, consecutive and case series study of 21 subjects with concurrent RRD associated with CD was conducted. All subjects underwent a standard three-port 20G pars plana vitrectomy ...

BACKGROUND This study compared the postoperative outcomes of 27-gauge (G) and 25-G vitrectomy performed for the treatment of idiopathic epiretinal membrane (ERM). METHODS The study design was single center, retrospective, interventional case series. Two hundred consecutive eyes that underwent primary vitrectomy for ERM (27-G vitrectomy in 100 eyes and 25-G vitrectomy in 100 eyes) were studied...
