Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the safety and performance clinical outcomes of the 27-gauge (G) two-dimensional cutting vitrectomy probe versus a standard 25-G probe for retinal procedures. METHODS In this large randomized prospective study, all candidates for epiretinal membrane or macular hole surgery were randomized to the 27-G group or 25-G group. Outcome measures included surgery time, changes in best-corrected distance visual acuity, intraocular pressure, and central macular thickness between baseline and 1-month and 3-month follow-up time points. Moreover, intraoperative and postoperative complications were evaluated as well as the rate of sutureless vitrectomy. RESULTS A total of 463 patients were included in this study, 227 patients in the 27-G group and 236 patients in the 25-G group. A similar total surgery time was found between both groups ( P = 0.0911). Similar best-corrected distance visual acuity and central macular thickness changes were observed between baseline and the 1-month and 3-month follow-up visits. No significant differences were reported in intraoperative and postoperative complications rates. The rate of sutureless vitrectomy was 96.5% for the 27-G group and 91.1% for the 25-G group ( P = 0.0170). CONCLUSION These results suggest that 27-G vitrectomy probe is similar to 25-G probe in surgery time and complications, while decreasing the need for vitrectomy sutures.

Quantitative Microvascular Change Analysis Using a Semi-Automated Software in Macula-off Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment Assessed by Swept-Source Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography. J Clin Med 2024; 13:2835. [PMID: 38792378 PMCID: PMC11122367 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13102835] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/09/2024] [Revised: 05/01/2024] [Accepted: 05/06/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective: To analyze the performance of custom semi-automated software for quantitative analysis of retinal capillaries in eyes with macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) and the role of these microvascular measures as potential biomarkers of postoperative visual outcomes. Methods: A prospective, observational, and single-center study was conducted on consecutive patients who underwent 25G pars-plana vitrectomy for primary uncomplicated macula-off RRD. Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) was performed in the fellow and RRD eyes before surgery and in months 1, 3, and 6 after surgery. The preoperative values of the fellow eyes were used as surrogates of macula-off ones. The primary endpoints were the mean vessel diameter index (VDI); vessel area density (VAD); and vessel skeleton density (VSD) at month 6. Results: Forty-four eyes (44 patients) were included in the study. Considering the fellow eyes as a surrogate of preoperative values of macula-off eyes, VDI in superficial (SCP) and deep (DCP) capillary plexuses was significantly reduced at month 6 (p = 0.0087 and p = 0.0402, respectively); whereas VSD in SCP increased significantly from preoperative values (p = 0.0278). OCTA built-in software parameters were significantly reduced from month 1 to month 6 in both SCP and DCP (p values ranged between 0.0235 and <0.0001). At month 6, 25 (56.8%) eyes achieved a best-corrected visual acuity BCVA ≥ 0.3 (LogMAR). The greater the preoperative BCVA, the greater the probability of achieving good visual outcomes (Odds ratio: 11.06; p = 0.0037). However, none of the OCTA parameters were associated with the probability of achieving a BCVA improvement ≥ 0.3. Conclusions: Quantitative evaluation of capillary density and morphology through OCTA and semi-automated software represents a valuable tool for clinical assessment and managing the disease comprehensively.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to objectively evaluate the longitudinal changes observed in the retinal capillaries in eyes with macula-on rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD), assessed with optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA), and to assess the role of these microvascular measures as potential biomarkers of postoperative visual outcomes. METHODS This was a prospective, longitudinal study conducted on consecutive patients who underwent 25 G pars plana vitrectomy for primary RRD. The vessel area density (VAD), vessel skeleton density (VSD), and vessel diameter index (VDI) were assessed in the superficial (SCP) and deep (DCP) capillary plexuses. RESULTS Twenty-three eyes with macula-on RRD were included in the study. The mean preoperative VDI, VAD, and VSD of the RRD eye were 18.6 ± 1.1, 0.43 ± 0.02, and 0.17 ± 0.01 in the SCP; and 18.6 ± 0.6, 0.38 ± 0.03, and 0.15 ± 0.01 in the DCP, respectively. At month 6, eight (34.8%) eyes achieved a best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) gain ≥ 0.1 LogMAR. A preoperative VDI > 17.80, VSD > 0.170, and VDI-change > -0.395 in the SCP; and VDI > 18.11 and VDI change > -0.039 in the DCP were predictors of achieving a BCVA-gain ≥ 0.1 LogMAR. CONCLUSIONS The preoperative VDI in SCP and DCP, the preoperative VSD in SCP, and their changes from preoperative values were predictors of visual outcomes. A quantitative OCTA analysis of capillary density and morphology may represent a potential predictive tool for surgical outcomes in RRD. The results reported in this study suggest that OCTA is a useful ancillary test for clinical disease management.

Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of and to compare vitrectomy performed with 25-gauge or 27-gauge instrumentation for macular surgery by assessing the surgical duration, wound closure, and complication rate using a systematic approach to wound closure. Methods: In this retrospective chart review, 125 25-gauge and 125 27-gauge consecutive small-gauge vitrectomy surgeries for epiretinal membrane, macular hole, vitreomacular adhesion, or a combination were analyzed during and immediately after surgery. Wound closure was performed using a systematic protocol. Results: Baseline characteristics were not statistically different between the 2 groups. The surgical duration was similar with 25-gauge vitrectomy and 27-gauge vitrectomy (P = .07). Although spontaneous wound closure was common in both groups, it was more common in the 27-gauge group (P = .22). Intraoperative and postoperative complications were uncommon in both groups. Conclusions: Findings show that 27-gauge vitrectomy is a safe, effective alternative to the more commonly used 25-gauge vitrectomy for macular surgery. Less manipulation was required to achieve wound closure with 27-gauge vitrectomy using a standardized wound-closure protocol. Smaller 27-gauge vitrectomy did not increase surgical time or complications over 25-gauge vitrectomy for macular surgery.

Abstract
Purpose: To analyze the clinical outcomes of 27-gauge pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) repair of diabetic tractional retinal detachment (TRD) of various severities. Methods: This retrospective case series examined the outcomes of 27-gauge PPV to repair diabetic TRD from 2016 to 2020. The effect of medical and ophthalmologic history parameters and baseline detachment characteristics on visual acuity (VA) and retinal reattachment was analyzed. A grading system was established to stage the severity of the baseline vitreoretinal traction or detachment and compare the visual and anatomic outcomes between stages. Results: The study comprised 79 eyes (79 patients). The overall redetachment rate was 10.1% (8/79). The proportion of eyes with severe visual impairment (worse than 20/200) decreased from 81.0% (64/79) preoperatively to 56.9% (37/65) 6 months postoperatively (P < .001). Worse preoperative logMAR VA was associated with greater odds of redetachment (P = .017) and worse postoperative VA (P < .001). Insulin dependence was associated with better VA at 6 months (P = .017). A shorter known duration of diabetes (P = .026) and evidence of neovascularization of the iris (NVI) or angle (P = .004) were associated with worse visual outcomes. Eyes with detachment involving the posterior pole extending beyond the equator had worse VA at 6 months (P = .048). Conclusions: The primary reattachment rate after 27-gauge PPV was 89.9%. There was significant VA improvement, with a roughly 40% reduction in the number of eyes with severe visual impairment by the final follow-up. Insulin dependence, duration of diabetes, presence of NVI before surgery, and baseline posterior pole detachment extending beyond the equator were predictors of visual outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE Surgical innovations are necessary to improve patient care. After an initial exploratory phase, novel surgical technique should be compared with alternative options or standard care in randomized controlled trials (RCTs). However, surgical RCTs have unique methodological challenges. Our study sought to investigate key aspects of the design, conduct, and reporting of RCTs of novel surgeries. DESIGN Systematic review. METHODS The protocol was prospectively registered in PROSPERO (CRD42021253297). RCTs evaluating novel surgeries for cataract, vitreoretinal, glaucoma, and corneal diseases were included. Medline, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and Clinicaltrials.gov were searched. The search period was January 1, 2016, to June 16, 2021. RESULTS A total of 52 ophthalmic surgery RCTs were identified in the fields of glaucoma (n = 12), vitreoretinal surgery (n = 5), cataract (n = 19), and cornea (n = 16). A description defining the surgeon's experience or level of expertise was reported in 30 RCTs (57%) and was presented in both control and intervention groups in 11 (21%). Specification of the number of cases performed in the particular surgical innovation being assessed prior to the trial was reported in 10 RCTs (19%) and an evaluation of quality of the surgical intervention in 7 (13%). Prospective trial registration was recorded in 12 RCTs (23%) and retrospective registration in 13 (25%); and there was no registration record in the remaining 28 (53%) studies. CONCLUSIONS Important aspects of the study design such as the surgical learning curve, surgeon's previous experience, quality assurance, and trial registration details were often missing in novel ophthalmic surgical procedures. The Idea, Development, Exploration, Assessment, Long-term follow-up (IDEAL) framework aims to improve the quality of study design.

Abstract
We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the effect of 27-gauge microincision vitrectomy surgery compared with 25-gauge microincision vitrectomy surgery on wound closure and the need for wound suture and other postoperative parameters in the treatment of vitreoretinal disease. A systematic literature search up to June 2022 was performed and 1264 subjects with the vitreoretinal disease at the baseline of the studies; 562 of them were using the 27-gauge microincision vitrectomy surgery, and 722 were using 25-gauge microincision vitrectomy surgery. Odds ratio (OR), and mean difference (MD) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to assess the effect of 27-gauge microincision vitrectomy surgery compared with 25-gauge microincision vitrectomy surgery on wound closure and the need for wound suture and other postoperative parameters in the treatment of vitreoretinal disease using the dichotomous, and contentious methods with a random or fixed-effect model. The 27-gauge microincision vitrectomy surgery subjects had a significantly lower intraoperative and postoperative wound complication (OR, 6.66; 95% CI, 0.46-0.95, P = .02), and wound suture number (OR, 0.38; 95% CI, 0.20-0.71, P = .002), and best corrected visual acuity (MD, -0.03; 95% CI, -0.05 to -0.001, P = .02) compared with 25-gauge microincision vitrectomy surgery in subjects with vitreoretinal disease. However, 27-gauge microincision vitrectomy surgery subjects had no significant difference in the wound closure time (MD, -8.45; 95% CI, -23.44 to 6.55, P = .27), operation time (MD, 0.85; 95% CI, -1.17 to 2.86, P = .41), intraocular pressure at postoperative day 1 (MD, 0.42; 95% CI, -1.45-2.28, P = .66), primary anatomical success rate (OR, 0.83; 95% CI, 0.42-1.63, P = .58), and central macular thickness (MD, 1.81; 95% CI, -21.76 to 25.37, P = .88) compared to 25-gauge microincision vitrectomy surgery in subjects with vitreoretinal disease. The 27-gauge microincision vitrectomy surgery subjects had a significantly lower intraoperative and postoperative wound complication, wound suture number, and best corrected visual acuity, and no significant difference in the wound closure time, operation time, intraocular pressure at postoperative day 1, primary anatomical success rate, and central macular thickness compared to 25-gauge microincision vitrectomy surgery in subjects with vitreoretinal disease. The analysis of outcomes should be with caution because of the low sample size of 12 out of 15 studies in the meta-analysis and a low number of studies in certain comparisons.

Abstract
Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) is a serious surgical condition with significant ocular morbidity if not managed properly. Once untreatable, approaches to the repair of RRD have greatly evolved over the years, leading to outstanding primary surgical success rates. The management of RRD is often a topic of great debate. Scleral buckling, vitrectomy and pneumatic retinopexy have been used successfully for the treatment of RRD. Several factors may affect surgical success and dictate a surgeon's preference for the technique employed. In this review, we provide an overview and supporting literature on the options for RRD repair and their respective preoperative and postoperative considerations in order to guide surgical management.

Abstract
Objective To report the clinical, visual, and safety outcomes of 27 gauge pars plana vitrectomy (27G PPV) in eyes with full thickness and lamellar macular hole (MH). Methodology This retrospective cross-sectional study, conducted at the ophthalmology department of Shifa International Hospital, Islamabad, was done on 89 eyes of 85 patients who underwent 27G PPV for full-thickness and lamellar MH with a postoperative follow-up period of six months. Results The mean age was 61.9 ± 17.3 years with 57.3% being males. Most of the eyes had idiopathic stage III full-thickness MH (n=34, 38.2 %). The total mean operating time was 42.5 ± 19.8 minutes. During surgery, 48 (53.9%) eyes had concurrent phacoemulsification. Hexafluoroethane was the most commonly used tamponade agent (n=81, 91%). Postoperatively, the primary closure rate was 93.2% (n=83) while the final closure rate was 100% (n=6) either by prolonged posturing (n=3, 3.3%) or by an additional procedure involving autologous internal limiting membrane (ILM) transplant (n=3, 3.3%). The complication rate was 2.2% including iatrogenic retinal tear (n=1, 1.1%) and raised IOP (n=1, 1.1%). The overall best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) improved significantly from 1.20 ± 0.67 to 0.31 ±0.17 (p=<0.001). Conclusion As per this study, 27G PPV is a practical and efficient surgical system with substantial anatomical success, minimal complication, and considerable visual recovery rates in eyes with full thickness and lamellar MH. We suggest 27G PPV with ILM peeling and medium-acting intraocular gas as the standard procedure for MH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The uptake of small-gauge (SG; ie, 23-gauge [23-G], 25-gauge [25-G], and 27-gauge [27-G]) pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) has grown. We aim to investigate the advantages and disadvantages of various PPV port sizes in a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). MATERIALS AND METHODS A systematic literature search was performed for RCTs comparing PPV port sizes for any indication. Weighted mean differences (WMDs) and risk ratios (RRs) were calculated, and meta-analysis was performed with random-effects models. RESULTS A total of 1,678 eyes from 22 RCTs were included. Risk-of-bias assessment found some concerns in 13 studies. Compared with 20-gauge PPV, there was no significant difference in the final or change in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA; five studies analyzed each) relative to that of SG PPV. SG PPV was associated with a significantly greater incidence of hypotony (RR = 3.79; 95% confidence intervals [CI], 2.02 to 7.10; P < .0001; six studies) and choroidal detachment (RR = 5.65; 95% CI, 1.01 to 31.71; P = .05; three studies). Compared with 25-G PPV, there was no significant difference in BCVA at any time point with 23-G (two studies), and significantly more frequent port suturing was required with 23-G (RR = 0.46; 95% CI, 0.25 to 0.84; P = .01; two studies). Compared with 25-G PPV, 27-G was associated with a significantly better final BCVA (WMD = -0.06 logMAR; 95% CI, -0.11 to -0.01; P = .02; five studies) and a significantly lengthened surgery (WMD = 4.11 minutes; 95% CI, 0.18 to 8.05; P = .04; three studies). CONCLUSIONS There was no significant difference in visual or surgical outcomes following 20-gauge PPV relative to SG PPV (Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation recommendation: low certainty), and there was an increased risk of postoperative complications with SG PPV (moderate certainty). Compared with 25-G PPV, 23-G required more frequent port suturing (moderate certainty), whereas 27-G may be associated with a better final BCVA but longer surgery (low and moderate certainty, respectively).

Clinical outcomes of a beveled tip, ultra-high speed, 25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy system. BMC Ophthalmol 2022; 22:93. [PMID: 35196996 PMCID: PMC8867727 DOI: 10.1186/s12886-022-02311-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/04/2021] [Accepted: 02/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective To report the clinical outcomes of a 25-gauge, beveled-tip, 10,000 cuts-per-minute (cpm) microincisional vitrectomy surgery (MIVS) system. Methods Prospective case series of eyes undergoing primary pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for common vitreoretinal indications. Main outcome measures were: rate of achieving surgical objectives, operative times, number of surgical steps, use of ancillary instruments, corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), and adverse events (AE). Results The surgical objectives were achieved in all eyes. Mean total operative time (TOT), core, shave and total vitrectomy times were 1891 ± 890, 204 ± 120, 330 ± 320, 534 ± 389 s, respectively. Mean number of surgical steps was 4.3 ± 1.5. Mean number of ancillary instruments used was 4.5 ± 1.9. Mean CDVA improved by 0.53 ± 0.56 logMAR units (P < 0.001) 3 months postoperatively. AE included elevated IOP (8%), hypotony (6%), and re-detachment (2%). Majority (82%) had no postoperative discomfort. The number of surgical steps demonstrated a positive correlation with TOT (p < 0.05), number of ancillary instruments used (p < 0.05), and postoperative Day 1 IOP (p < 0.05). The number of times ancillary instrumentation was used demonstrated a positive correlation with TOT (p < 0.05). Conclusion Beveled-tip, 10,000 cpm MIVS system effectively and safely performs common VR procedures of varying complexity and may reduce operative times and use of ancillary instrumentation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) lockdown on the presentation and management of acute, primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). PATIENTS AND METHODS This was a single-center, consecutive case series with historic controls, examining patients during the COVID-19 "stay-at-home" order (March 24 to June 1, 2020), the subsequent reopening phase (June 1 to July 31, 2020), and corresponding preceding intervals (March 24 to July 31, 2016 to 2019). RESULTS Despite a significant increase in patients presenting with macula-off RRD during the COVID-19 lockdown compared to the 2016 to 2019 timeframe (P = .03), the rate of single surgery anatomical success was similar between all groups (P = .66), as was final visual acuity (P = .61). No delays between presentation and surgical intervention were observed during the lockdown (P = .49). CONCLUSIONS Despite the limitations of the COVID-19 lockdown, patients underwent surgery in a timely manner and achieved comparable visual outcomes to controls before COVID-19.

Abstract
Purpose: To assess the retinal features in eyes with postoperative metamorphopsia (POM) following rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) repair using multimodal imaging (MMI). Methods: In this cross-sectional; case-control study, patients after successful RRD repair following 25-gauge vitrectomy, clear vitreous cavity, and corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA)>20/200 were categorized using Amsler chart: cases with POM and controls without POM. MMI was performed on swept-source platform (Triton, Topcon Inc) and the confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope system (Spectralis HRA, Heidelberg). The measures assessed were CDVA, morphological features on optical coherence tomography, autofluorescence, and multicolor imaging (MCI). Results: Thirty-nine eyes were included in each group. Cases had greater number of eyes with total RRD (P = 0.029) preoperatively; abnormal foveal contour (P = 0.036), ellipsoid zone (EZ) disruption (P < 0.001) and poorer postoperative CDVA (P = 0.046) as compared to controls. Outer retinal folds and retinal shift (unintentional translocation of retina after reattachment surgery for RRD) did not differ significantly between the groups (P = 0.48 and 0.35, respectively). On MCI, the distribution of detected ERM was similar between the groups (P = 0.25). Postoperative CDVA was significantly worse in eyes with POM. Conclusion: POM is affected by extent of RRD, postoperative foveal contour, and EZ status but not by retinal shift.

PLoS One 2021; 16:e0249139. [PMID: 33765074 PMCID: PMC7993849 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0249139] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2020] [Accepted: 03/09/2021] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare surgical outcomes between 27 and 25-gauge vitrectomy in proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) with tractional retinal detachment (TRD). METHODS This retrospective study was conducted to compare the intraoperative status, operation time, use of instruments, endotamponade substance, wound suture number, and iatrogenic break, between 27 and 25-gauge vitrectomy in 43 eyes afflicted by PDR with TRD. The post-surgical results, best-corrected visual acuity, intraocular pressure, recurrent vitreous haemorrhage, and re-operation rate were regularly followed up for 6 months. RESULTS Patients in the 25 and the 27-gauge groups did not differ significantly in terms of pre-surgical conditions, such as age, gender, pre-existing glaucoma, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and the severity of their TRD. The mean operation time was 56.7 minutes in the 27-gauge group and 63.7 minutes in the 25-gauge group (p = 0.94). There is significantly less use of micro forceps in the 27-gauge group (p = 0.004). No difference between micro scissors and chandelier usage were noted; neither was their difference in iatrogenic retinal breaks. Significantly fewer wound sutures were noted in the 27-gauge group (p < 0.001). The post-operative results revealed no significant difference in ocular hypertension, hypotony, BCVA improvement, recurrent vitreous haemorrhage and re-operation rate. CONCLUSIONS The 27-gauge vitrectomy system offers comparable surgical outcomes in PDR with TRD. The 27-gauge vitrectomy system is suitable for complicated retinal surgery.

Determining the Location of the Fovea Centralis Via En-Face SLO and Cross-Sectional OCT Imaging in Patients Without Retinal Pathology. Transl Vis Sci Technol 2021; 10:25. [PMID: 34003910 PMCID: PMC7900853 DOI: 10.1167/tvst.10.2.25] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2020] [Accepted: 01/03/2021] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose The purpose was to establish the position of the fovea centralis to the optic nerve via en-face, near-infrared spectral domain optical coherence tomography (NIR-OCT) in healthy patients. This may shed light on physiological variability and be used for studying subtle cases of foveal ectopia in macular pathology and after retinal detachment. Methods SD-OCT data of 890 healthy eyes were retrospectively analyzed. Exclusion criteria included axial myopia causing tilting of the optic disc, peripapillary atrophy >1/3 the width of the disc, macular images excluding greater than half of the optic disc, and patients unable to maintain vertical head positioning. Two independent reviewers measured the horizontal and vertical distance from the fovea to the optic disc center and optic disc diameter via cross-sectional and en-face scanning laser ophthalmoloscopy OCT imaging. Results 890 eyes were included in the study. The right and left eyes differed in the horizontal distance from the fovea to the disc center (4359 vs. 4248 µm, P < 0.001) and vertical distance from the fovea to the disc center (464 µm vs. 647, P < 0.001). This corresponded to a smaller angle between the right and left eyes (6.07° vs. 8.67°, P < 0.001). Older age was associated with a larger horizontal (P = 0.008) and vertical distance (0.025). These differences persisted after correcting for axial length in the 487 patients with axial-length data. Conclusions This study compares the position of the fovea centralis among individuals without macular pathology on a micron level basis. The significant variability between right and left eyes indicates that contralateral eye evaluation cannot be reliably used. Rather, true foveal ectopia requires assessments of preoperative and postoperative NIR-OCT scans. This finding is relevant to retinal detachment cases and evaluation of subtle foveal ectopia. Translational Relevance This finding is relevant to retinal detachment cases and evaluation of subtle foveal ectopia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate visual and safety outcomes for 25-gauge (25G) and 27-gauge (27G) micro-incision vitrectomy platforms (MIVS) for the treatment of epiretinal membrane and full-thickness macular holes. METHODS Retrospective analysis of all patients who underwent internal limiting membrane (ILM) peel surgery from January 2017 through December 2018. 207 cases met the eligibility criteria for inclusion. Primary endpoint was post-operative Best-Corrected Distance Visual Acuity (BCVA) at 6 months. RESULTS For all patients combined, mean logMAR BCVA improved from 0.57 (± 0.40) to 0.37 (± 0.36) post-operatively (p < 0.001). For 25G ERMs, logMAR BCVA improved from 0.51 (± 0.28) to 0.30 (± 0.25) post-operatively (p < 0.001). For 27G ERMs, logMAR BCVA improved from 0.33 (± 0.28) to 0.28 (± 0.27) post- operatively (p = 0.15). For 25G FTMHs, logMAR BCVA improved from 0.87 (± 0.48) to 0.51 (± 0.44) post-operatively (p < 0.001). For 27G FTMHs, logMAR BCVA changed from 0.89 (± 0.47) to 0.96 (± 0.60). CONCLUSION Final visual outcomes improved for both 25G and 27G ERM groups and the 25G FTMH group. Both 25G and 27G were safe and well tolerated MIVS platforms for the treatment of ERM and FTMH.

J Ophthalmol 2020; 2020:6149692. [PMID: 32908682 PMCID: PMC7450297 DOI: 10.1155/2020/6149692] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2020] [Accepted: 08/04/2020] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of 27-gauge (27-G) microincision vitrectomy surgery (MIVS) compared with 25-guage (25-G) MIVS for the treatment of vitreoretinal disease. METHODS A systematic electronic search was conducted in March 2020 in PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane library. Eligible criteria for including studies were controlled trials comparing 27-G vitrectomy with 25-G vitrectomy in patients with vitreoretinal disease. The main outcomes included operation time; best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in logMAR; postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP); primary anatomical success rate for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) cases and postoperative central macular thickness (CMT) for idiopathic epiretinal membrane (ERM) cases; intraoperative/postoperative complications. Odds ratio (OR) and mean difference (MD) were synthesized under fixed or random effects models. RESULTS Eleven studies enrolling 940 eyes were identified. Among those 11 studies, six studies were on the treatment of RRD and five studies were on the treatment of ERM, so subgroup analyses were conducted. The total pooled results indicated that 27-G surgery system had obvious advantages in improving BCVA at six months after the vitrectomy (P = 0.004) and reducing intraoperative/postoperative complications (P = 0.03). However, the mean operation time was significantly longer by three minutes for 27-G compared with 25-G vitrectomy (P = 0.002). In subgroup analyses, for the treatment of ERM cases, 27-G group was associated with less complications and longer operation time. However, for the treatment of RRD cases, 27-G groups and 25-G groups were comparable in operation time, postoperative BCVA, postoperative IOP, and primary anatomical success rate. CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis confirmed that 27-G MIVS was an effective and safe surgical system compared with 25-G MIVS for the treatment of RRD and ERM cases, even though 27-G system needs a longer surgical time.
