BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcome of 25-gauge vitrectomy for repair of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) complicated by proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR). METHODS Twenty-seven eyes of 27 patients who had undergone 25-gauge vitrectomy for grade C PVR were investigated retrospectively. The surgical procedures, anatomic success, and best-corrected visual ...

The aim of this study is to assess clinical outcomes of 23-gauge vitrectomy and silicone oil (SO) tamponade combined with and without phacoemulsification (PE) in rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). The study included forty eyes of 40 patients that underwent 23-gauge vitrectomy and SO tamponade combined with and without PE. Twenty eyes of 20 cases, of whom underwent 23-gauge vitrectomy and ...

IMPORTANCE Patients and clinicians need to accurately assess the risks and benefits of pars plana vitrectomy for proliferative diabetic retinopathy, but clinical trial data may not reflect real-world experience. OBJECTIVE To prospectively audit the complications of vitrectomy for proliferative diabetic retinopathy and help establish benchmarks. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Royal Colleg...

PURPOSE Traditionally acceptable methods of anesthesia for vitrectomy surgery are quite varied. However, each of these methods has its own potential for complications that can range from minor to severe. The surgery procedure of vitrectomy for symptomatic vitreous floaters is much simpler, mainly reflecting in the nonuse of sclera indentation, photocoagulation, and the apparently short surgery ...

Introduction: The purpose of this work is to study the efficacy preoperative intravitreal administration bevacizumab as an adjunct vitrectomy in patients with Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (PDR). Methods: This retrospective comparative was performed on 118 eyes (118 patients) proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), which underwent surgery at Department Eye Disease Zarifa Aliyeva National...

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...
