In our report, we present the hypersonic vitrectomy (Vitesse, Bausch and Lomb) being employed for anterior vitreous liquefaction and removal in posterior capsular rupture. The capsular tear with nucleus drop during conventional phacoemulsification was managed by vitrectomy using the hypersonic vitrector after posterior-assisted levitation followed by intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. The minimal cortical and epinuclear lens particles in the anterior chamber and vitreous were also liquefied with a stoke length of 30 to 40 μm and aspirated via the Vitesse vitrectomy system. The same probe performs the vitrectomy and the nucleus removal. The postoperative period was uneventful with clear cornea, normal fundus, and 20/20 best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA). The hypersonic vitrectomy utilizes the ultrasound power of 29.5 kHz and a stoke length of 0 to 60 μm for liquefaction of the vitreous. It can be a safe alternative for vitrectomy and lens removal in a single setting.

Introduction: To investigate the safety and efficacy of the Vitesse hypersonic vitrectomy device for retinal reattachment surgery in proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) or proliferative diabetic vitreoretinopathy (PDVR) cases. The Vitesse device utilizes hypersonic technology to liquefy instead of cutting the vitreous, providing an alternative to the traditional pneumatic guillotine cutter.
Material And Methods: A prospective, one-armed, non-comparative, open-label study was performed.

Purpose: To evaluate the safety, effectiveness, and the best parameters setup of hypersonic vitrectomy.
Methods: A prospective, multicentric, interventional study on 50 eyes that had undergone hypersonic vitrectomy because of various vitreoretinal diseases. We primarily assessed the effectiveness of vitreous removal, intraoperative complications, and surgical setup.

Purpose: To assess the fluidics of 23-gauge (G) large-port (L) and tear drop-port (TD) hypersonic vitrectomy probes (HVPs) compared with guillotine vitrectomy probes (GVPs) of various calibers (23G, 25G, and 27G) and geometries (single and double blades). Also, to identify the working parameters that provide the best balance between acceleration and flow rate, and, for HVPs, to measure temperature variations in the fluid.
Methods: We used particle image velocimetry to measure flow fields in balanced salt solution and viscoelastic artificial vitreous.

Purpose Of Review: To review the development of hypersonic vitrectomy and present the first case series in the United States.
Recent Findings: From 27 September 2017 to 4 December 2017, 64 patients underwent hypersonic vitrectomy with 20 patients having conventional 23-ga vitrectomy for comparison. The preoperative diagnoses ranged from vitreous opacities to rhegmatogenous retinal detachments.
