The 25-gauge Transconjunctival Sutureless Vitrectomy System (TSV) is safe and effective for various vitreoretinal surgeries. This minimally invasive approach may improve patient recovery and surgical efficiency.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • The 25-gauge Transconjunctival Sutureless Vitrectomy System (TSV) represents a minimally invasive approach to vitreoretinal surgery.
  • Evaluating its initial use is crucial for understanding its safety and feasibility across diverse ophthalmic procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the initial clinical experience with the 25-gauge TSV.
  • To determine the safety and feasibility of this system for various vitreoretinal surgeries.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective review of a consecutive interventional case series.
  • Surgery was performed using the 25-gauge TSV on 35 eyes across 33 patients.
  • Procedures included treatment for epiretinal membrane, retinal detachment, macular hole, and other conditions.

Main Results:

  • Postoperative intraocular pressure remained stable, with a median of 16 mmHg at 1 month.
  • Visual acuity improved significantly, with a median postoperative acuity of 20/60 compared to 20/100 preoperatively.
  • One case of postoperative retinal detachment was observed.

Conclusions:

  • The 25-gauge TSV is a practical and safe option for numerous vitreoretinal procedures.
  • Transconjunctival surgery holds potential for enhanced surgical efficiency and faster patient recovery by simplifying procedures and reducing trauma.
