Purpose: To report on the indications, outcomes, and complications of endoscopic vitrectomy in a large cohort of pediatric vitreoretinal patients.
Methods: This is a retrospective interventional case series consisting of 244 eyes of 211 patients aged 18 years or younger undergoing a total of 326 endoscopic vitrectomies from 2008 to 2017. A 23-gauge vitrectomy was performed with use of a 19-gauge endoscope.
Results: Two hundred and eleven patients with a mean age of 7.5 years (range: 0-18 years) and median follow-up since last surgery of 28 months (range: 3 months-8.7 years) were included. The most common indication for endoscopic vitrectomy was retinal detachment (234/326; 72%) with proliferative vitreoretinopathy (162/234; 69%). Other diagnoses included trauma (25%), retinopathy of prematurity (15%), and glaucoma (9%). Twenty-five percent of surgeries (80/326) were performed on eyes with significant corneal opacities. Retinal reattachment was achieved in 67% of eyes with retinal detachment (119/178). Visual acuity improved in 26% of retinal detachment eyes versus 53% of nonretinal detachment eyes (P = 0.005). Surgical complications included band keratopathy (15%), hypotony (8%), cataract (7%), and elevated intraocular pressure (3%).
Conclusion: In this large series of pediatric endoscopic vitreoretinal surgeries, anatomic outcomes and complication rates were comparable with previous studies.

Aim: To assess the utility and efficiency of endoscopy-assisted vitrectomy (EAV) for the treatment of corneal opacity in severe ocular trauma.
Methods: Patients who underwent fundus examination using a preoperative slit lamp and intraoperative endoscopy, followed by EAV and additional surgery were retrospectively recruited. Silicone oil removal and penetrating keratoplasty were used in selected eyes at postoperative follow-ups.
Endoscopic Surgery for Congenital or Acquired Cataract Associated with Persistent Fetal Vasculature: A Case Series.

Article Synopsis
- - Persistent fetal vasculature (PFV) is a congenital eye condition where the primary vitreous and hyaloid vessels fail to regress, causing abnormalities that can lead to cataracts and other complications.
- - A novel surgical technique involving an intraocular endoscope was used safely in four cases of cataracts associated with PFV, allowing for better observation and treatment without significant complications.
- - The use of the endoscope during surgery improved precision and effectiveness in managing the vitreous stalk and fibrovascular membranes, suggesting it as a valuable approach for PFV-related cataract treatment.
Purpose: To investigate effects and complications of endoscopic vitrectomy combined with 3D heads-up viewing system in treating traumatic ocular injury. . This is a retrospective interventional case series in a tertiary referral center in Taiwan, and we included patients of traumatic ocular injury, and they underwent endoscopic vitrectomy combined with a 3D heads-up viewing system.

A female in her 20s presented with a diminution of vision in the right eye (RE) following an open globe injury (scleral penetration) and repair a year back. At the presentation, she had low intraocular pressure (IOP) of 7 mm Hg, posterior subcapsular cataract (PSC), retrolental vitreous bands incarcerated at the penetration site, disc oedema, tortuous vessels and choroidal folds. Inferotemporal and superonasal cyclodialysis clefts were detected on CASIA 2 optical coherence tomography (OCT).

Purpose: The objective of this study was to demonstrate, based on objective clinical indicators, the advantages of depth of field provided by the 3D surgical video system compared with the traditional microscope during vitrectomy for treating epiretinal membranes or macular holes.
Methods: A total of 38 patients were included in this study and randomly assigned to either the 3D surgical video group or the conventional microscope group. Surgical parameters, such as the focal plane adjustment frequency, membrane peeling time, and number of attempts to peel the membrane, were recorded for each patient.
