purpose : the aim of this study was to compare the rate and location of intraoperatively induced retinal breaks between two techniques of standard 20-gauge vitrectomy and transconjunctival 23-gauge using trocar/cannula methods : in this prospective comparative case series patients having attached retina before surgery who were operated for different vitreoretinal or macular conditions by standa...

PURPOSE To investigate the clinical findings and outcomes of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) in Stickler syndrome on affected and fellow eyes that underwent prophylactic retinopexy. PATIENTS AND METHODS Chart review of 70 eyes (62 patients). Incidence of RRD, postoperative visual acuity, and risk factors were evaluated. RESULTS Twenty-two patients (35%) had RRD in the fellow eye, 37...

Pars plana vitrectomy for acute infectious endophthalmitis can be challenging due to severe inflammation in the anterior chamber creating significant media opacity. We describe a surgical technique combining limbal based vitrectomy and pars plana vitrectomy to manage acute infectious endophthalmitis. Limbal based vitrectomy facilitates removal of anterior chamber fibrin and inflammatory membran...

PURPOSE To report the results obtained in a non-comparative series of pseudophakic patients with retinal detachment (RD) treated with vitrectomy with no associated scleral procedures. METHODS The clinical records of all pseudophakic patients with RD treated with vitrectomy were evaluated by one of the authors. Patients with primary regmatogenous RD with no signs of proliferative vitreoretinop...

AIM To report the clinical findings, management, and outcomes in eyes undergoing surgery for regressed retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) with vitreoretinal complications. METHOD Retrospective review of 40 eyes of 32 patients with regressed ROP who presented between 1989 and 2001 at two UK referral centres. RESULTS Of 29 eyes presenting with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD), 15 initial...

BACKGROUND We report a case of traumatic retinal detachment in an eye with severe corneal opacity that was successfully treated using 23 gauge (G) transconjunctival vitrectomy assisted by endoscope and a wide-angle viewing system. CASE PRESENTATION A 22-year-old Japanese man was referred to our hospital with the suspicion of traumatic retinal detachment of the right eye, 1 month after an open...

BACKGROUND Scleral buckling surgery and pars plana vitrectomy are competing methods in the treatment of retinal detachment. The recent development of spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) has dramatically improved the visualization of the photoreceptor layer relative to conventional OCT, and offers new opportunities to investigate the discordances between anatomic and functional...

Objectives: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect preoperative intravitreal Bevacizumab on postoperative incidence vitreous cavity hemorrhage in patients with advance diabetic eye disease undergoing 23 gauge pars plana vitrectomy. Study Duration: This was conducted department Ophthalmology Services Hospital Lahore from April 2021 September 2021. Design: Randomized Controlled Trail ...

Purpose. To evaluate visual outcomes and identify prognostic factors after pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) surgery for traumatic endophthalmitis. Methods. Medical records of 121 consecutive patients (121 eyes) diagnosed with traumatic endophthalmitis that had undergone pars plana vitrectomy were retrospectively reviewed. Results. 121 patients, aged from 6 to 71 years, all underwent PPV surgery. 113...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to investigate lamellar macular hole formation in six patients after rhegmatogenous retinal detachment repair. METHODS A retrospective review of medical records of patients who underwent primary pars plana vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment repair was performed. Optical coherence tomography characteristics and best-corrected visual acuity...
