TRANSCONJUNCTIVAL NONVITRECTOMIZING VITREOUS SURGERY VERSUS 25-GAUGE VITRECTOMY IN PATIENTS WITH EPIRETINAL MEMBRANE: A Prospective Randomized Study.

Retina

May 2015

*Eye Clinic, University of Catania, Catania, Italy; and †Eye Clinic, Azienda Ospedaliero Universitaria Ospedali Riuniti Umberto I-GM Lancisi-G Salesi di Ancona, University of Marche, Ancona, Italy.

Purpose: To compare the clinical outcomes and the rate of complications of 27-gauge transconjunctival nonvitrectomizing vitreous surgery (NVS) and of 25-gauge transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy surgery for idiopathic epiretinal membrane removal.

Methods: In this prospective randomized study, 83 phakic eyes of 83 consecutive patients with an idiopathic epiretinal membrane were randomized to receive 27-gauge NVS (NVS-group) or 25-gauge vitrectomy (Standard-group). Main outcome measures were best-corrected visual acuity, central retinal thickness, nuclear density units' changes, and rate of complications.

Massive premacular hemorrhage can cause sudden visual loss. We sought to evaluate the efficacy, safety and visual outcome of nonvitrectomizing vitreous surgery with intravitreal tissue plasminogen activator (t-pa) for long-lasting thick premacular hemorrhage. This retrospective, interventional study examined three consecutive eyes of three patients who received nonvitrectomizing vitreous surgery with intravitreal t-pa for the treatment of non-recent massive premacular hemorrhage.

Purpose: We report three cases illustrating an alternative treatment option for premacular haemorrhage.

Methods: This retrospective interventional case study included three eyes in three patients with premacular haemorrhage caused by idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura in the first case, trauma in the second case and retinal arterial macroaneurysm in the third case. All patients underwent non-vitrectomizing vitreous surgery.
