Endoscopy-assisted pars plana vitrectomy in retinal detachments associated with anterior proliferative vitreoretinopathy and epiciliary membranes.

Background: Proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) is the leading cause of recurrent retinal detachment. Anterior PVR can contribute to recurrent retinal detachment and is often difficult to remove during conventional pars plana vitrectomy. The purpose of this study is to report surgical outcomes of single endoscopy-assisted pars plana vitrectomy (E-PPV) in patients with tractional retinal detachments associated with anterior proliferative vitreoretinopathy and epiciliary membranes.

Endoscopic Pars Plana Vitrectomy in Patients With Open-Globe Injury and Corneal Opacity.

To determine the 1-year outcomes of endoscopic pars plana vitrectomy (EPPV) and its impact on the corneal transplantation rate in patients with open-globe injury (OGI) and corneal opacity. This retrospective cohort study collected data between December 2018 and August 2021. All EPPVs were performed at a level I trauma center.

Prophylactic Laser Treatment Posterior to Pars Plana Vitrectomy Sclerotomy Wounds During Macular Surgery.

Introduction: Sclerotomy related retinal breaks (SRRBs) are a risk factor for postoperative retinal detachment (RD). Endolaser posterior to sclerotomy wounds decreased the risk of SRRBs after 20G pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for macular disease. However, similar data do not exist for 25G and 23G wounds.
