Trimanual Versus Unimanual 23-Gauge Vitrectomy in Patients With Diabetes: Limitations and Expectations.

Background And Objective: To compare between trimanual and unimanual vitrectomy in complicated proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR).

Patients And Methods: A prospective, non-randomized, comparative study including patients with tractional retinal detachment (TRD), vitreous hemorrhage with TRD, and combined TRD with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. The patients were allocated into two groups: the unimanual group with three-port vitrectomy and the trimanual group with added fourth sclerotomy, through which the endoillumination probe was guided by the assistant.

Soloist performance of vitrectomy probe in proliferative diabetic retinopathy.

Purpose:: To evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of the sole use of 23g pars plana vitrectomy in cases with diabetic vitreous hemorrhage with vitreoretinal traction.

Methods:: Prospective interventional case series involving patients between January 2013 and January 2018. All eyes underwent 23g pars plana vitrectomy with internal tamponade.

Long-term outcome of internal limiting membrane peeling with and without foveal sparing in myopic foveoschisis.

Purpose:: To compare between vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane peeling over the whole macula and preservation of the epi-foveal internal limiting membrane in myopic foveoschisis.

Patients And Methods:: A prospective controlled non- randomized comparative study included patients with myopic foveoschisis recruited between 2013 and 2017. Patients were allocated into two groups: group A included patients who underwent vitrectomy with complete macular internal limiting membrane peeling and group B included those who underwent preservation of the epi-foveal membrane.
