Abstract

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of 20-gauge transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy for a variety of vitreoretinal conditions.This study was a retrospective clinical case series examining 29 eyes of 29 patients treated with 20-gauge transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy. The main outcome measures included intraocular pressure, visual acuity, surgical time, and intraoperative and postoperative complications.The mean follow-up duration was 5.7 months. There were only two cases of postoperative ocular hypotony (6.9%) and one suspect case of endophthalmitis. Mean overall acuity improved from 0.495 logMar at baseline to 0.29 logMar (p=0.002) and mean total operative time was 19 min. We observed no cases of retinal detachment.Twenty-gauge transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy is an effective surgical technique, but other studies are needed to confirm its safety and its value in other indications.
