Anterior vitrectomy is a skill all cataract surgeons should develop and master. Every surgeon will have complications at some point in his/her career. Complication management should be part of the sur...
This video will serve as a step-by-step practical guide to the intraoperative management of posterior capsular rent by simplifying the anterior vitrectomy procedure....
This video will demonstrate how to tackle the dreaded complication of a posterior capsular rent with vitreous disturbance, and achieve optimal postoperative outcomes....
We demonstrate how a PCR appears, and once identified, how to proceed. In addition, nuances regarding foot positions and different vitrectomy modes are included. Biaxial vitrectomy is explained. Lens ...

Recurrent retinal detachment (Re-RD) usually affects the prognosis of surgery for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). Previous clinical studies of Re-RD were not specific. This study aimed to ana...
This is a retrospective case series analyzed the ocular characteristics of 20 recurrent and contralateral eyes, evaluated the significance of the associations between variables before reoperation and ...
Patients with phakic eyes, those undergoing only one surgery, and those with more than one break had better final BCVA. The final BCVA was negatively correlated with the axial length and positively co...
Revitrectomy without retinectomy or scleral buckling can effectively treat Re-RD in post-vitrectomy eyes. In Re-RD patients with no definite retinal break detected preoperatively, the retinal hole usu...
To compare outcomes of acute endophthalmitis (EO) managed with either primary vitrectomy (PV) or primary intravitreal antibiotics (vancomycin and ceftazidime) followed by early vitrectomy (PIAEV) comb...
This was a prospective, comparative observational study of acute EO cases admitted to a regional vitreoretinal service over 18 months. Depending on whether immediate vitrectomy (within 6 h) was achiev...
The study included 41 EO cases. There were 19 post-injection EO, 18 post-cataract EO, three post-vitrectomy EO, and one blebitis-related EO. Fifteen of 19 PV cases and 15 of 21 PIAEV had a clinically ...
Primary vitrectomy or PIAEV allowed for vitrectomy for all cases of acute EO in a large region. Most eyes in both groups achieved a clinically meaningful improvement in BCVA. By combining culture with...
Pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) is the main treatment modality for patients with severe diabetic retinopathy. With the development of systems for microincision, wide-angle viewing, digitally assisted visu...
Endophthalmitis is a sight-threatening emergency that requires prompt diagnosis and treatment. The condition is characterised by purulent inflammation of the intraocular fluids caused by an infective ...
To assess the potential role of combined pars plana vitrectomy and intravitreal antibiotics in the acute management of exogenous endophthalmitis, versus the standard of care, defined as vitreous tap a...
We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL; which contains the Cochrane Eyes and Vision Trials Register; 2022, Issue 5); Ovid MEDLINE; Ovid Embase; the International Stand...
We included randomised controlled trials (RCTs) that compared pars plana vitrectomy and intravitreal injection of antibiotics versus intravitreal injection of antibiotics alone, for the immediate mana...
We used standard methods expected by Cochrane. Two review authors independently screened search results and extracted data. We considered the following outcomes: visual acuity improvement and change i...
To assess the efficacy and safety of topical insulin (TI) for treating neurotrophic keratopathy (NK) within one-month post-diabetic vitrectomy (DV) compared to conventional non-invasive measures, we c...
Ophthalmologists have used hyaluronan (HA) products as adjuncts to ocular surgery since the 1970s. However, HA products are not always functional in surgeries of the posterior eye segment due to their...
The accurate encoding of operation notes is essential for activity-based funding and workforce planning. The aim of this project was to evaluate the procedural coding accuracy of vitrectomy and to dev...
This retrospective cohort study involved vitrectomy operation notes between a 21-month period at the Royal Adelaide Hospital. Coding of procedures were based on the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS)-th...
There were a total of 1724 procedures with individual codes performed within 617 vitrectomy operation notes totalling $1 528 086.60 after manual review. A total of 1147 (66.5%) codes were missed in th...
Machine learning has been successful in the classification of vitrectomy operation note encoding. We recommend a combined human and machine learning approach to clinical coding as automation may facil...
To compare the visual, refractive, and anatomical outcomes and incidence of complications between combined pars plana vitrectomy and phacoemulsification (phacovitrectomy) versus pars plana vitrectomy ...
Two independent reviewers searched MEDLINE, Cochrane Central, and Web of Science to identify relevant articles. Prospective or retrospective studies comparing PPV-only and phacovitrectomy for RRD were...
Seven studies (788 eyes) were selected, including two clinical trials and five retrospective comparative case series. The single surgery success rate was similar in PPV-only and phacovitrectomy groups...
There was no significant difference between the two groups regarding the anatomical outcome. Slightly better visual and refractive results were observed in the PPV-only group. However, the results sho...
Macular hole (MH) is a full-thickness defect in the central portion of the retina that causes loss of central vision. According to the usual definition, a large MH has a diameter greater than 400 µm a...
To evaluate the clinical effectiveness and safety of pars plana vitrectomy with the inverted internal limiting membrane flap technique versus pars plana vitrectomy with conventional internal limiting ...
The Cochrane Eyes and Vision Information Specialist searched CENTRAL, MEDLINE, Embase, two other databases, and two trials registries on 12 December 2022....
We included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that evaluated PPV with ILM peeling versus PPV with inverted ILM flap for treatment of large MHs (with a basal diameter greater than 400 µm at the narro...
We used standard methodological procedures expected by Cochrane and assessed the certainty of the body of evidence using GRADE....
We included four RCTs (285 eyes of 275 participants; range per study 24 to 91 eyes). Most participants were women (63%), and of older age (range of means 59.4 to 66 years). Three RCTs were single-cent...
We found low-certainty evidence from four small RCTs that PPV with the inverted ILM flap technique is superior to PPV with ILM peeling with respect to BCVA gains at three or more months after surgery....
