Purpose:
To show the usefulness of the intraoperative three-dimensional fluorescein angiography (3D-FA)-guided pars plana vitrectomy.
Methods:
The NGENUITY 3D visualization system was used for the digital assisted vitrectomy. Three-dimension…
Purpose:
There is renewed interest in subretinal drug delivery as the result of novel and emerging treatments for retinal diseases, including retinal gene therapy. However, our knowledge of the distribution of subretinally delivered drugs is incomp…
Purpose:
To describe a minimally invasive technique for the repair of large traumatic cyclodialysis clefts using intrascleral sewing machine suture and overhand friction knot techniques in pars plana vitrectomy.
Methods:
This prospective, noncomparative, interventional case series included seven eyes of seven patients with a large traumatic cyclodialysis cleft. The sewing machine technique was modified by an intrascleral approach. The procedure was transconjunctival or subconjunctival performed without scleral flaps/grooves. An overhand friction knot was used to lead the cutting ends of the suture buried in the scleral tunnel.
Results:
The closure of the cyclodialysis cleft was achieved in seven eyes. The mean follow-up duration was 49.1 ± 15.6 weeks (range, 30–70 weeks). The intraocular pressure increased from 7.3 ± 2.1 mm Hg (range, 5–11 mmHg) preoperatively to 13.6 ± 2.4 mm Hg (range, 10–17 mmHg) postoperatively (P
