purpose: to report the visual outcomes and complication of one-stage surgery for management of uveitic cataracts associated with posterior segment disease. methods: in this retrospective interventional case series, 19 eyes of 19 patients with posterior segment involvement due to chronic uveitis underwent sutureless scleral tunnel incision phacoemulsification combined with total vitrectomy using...

Dear Editor: The 23-gauge (G) transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy (TSV) technique has advantages of decreased surgical trauma, decreased astigmatism, faster wound healing, and improved postoperative comfort compared with other vitrectomy techniques. Although the efficacy of 23-G is comparable with conventional 20-G vitrectomy, some surgeons still use 20-G vitrectomy in complicated cases, su...

Purpose: A recent change in pars plan vitrectomy (PPV) has been the advent of smaller gauge “sutureless” instrumentation. Sutureless systems are designed to create selfsealing and leak free sclerotomies. This study’s purpose was to evaluate sutureless 23 gauge (23G) wound integrity via ultrasonographic, photographic, and tonographic techniques using a retrospective case series analysis. Method:...

A 54-year-old healthy male presented complaining of sudden loss of vision in the right eye. Initial visual acuity was counting fingers. The patient's acute vision loss developed after sexual activity. Color fundus photos and fluorescein angiography were performed showing a large subinternal limiting membrane hemorrhage in the macular area. A 23-gauge sutureless pars plana vitrectomy with brilli...
