TitreLong term follow up of patients submitted to 20-gauge transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy
Abstract Nr.128
ButTo report the long term follow up of patients submitted to a new technique for sutureless transconjunctival vitrectomy using 20-gauge trocars with valves.
MéthodesFifty eyes underwent transconjuctival sutureless vitrectomy with 20-gauge trocars with valves . We analysed the surgical time, tamponade and complications. Follow-up ranged from six to twelve months.
RésultatsNo intraoperative complications were noted. No sutures were necessary. One patient presented hypotony, one developed hyphema, one patient had a vitreous hemorrhage.
ConclusionTransconjunctival sutureless 20-gauge vitrectomy using trocars with valves appears to be an efficient and safe alternative for conventional vitrectomy. It offers advantages of 25 and 23-gauge systems with the confort of 20-gauge instruments.
