Transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy (TSV) using the TSV 25 system is a safe surgical option. Careful patient selection and understanding the technique

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Techniques
  • Retinal Surgery

Background:

  • Transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy (TSV) offers a minimally invasive approach to vitreoretinal surgery.
  • The TSV 25 system represents a specific technology for performing this procedure.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To detail the operative aspects and surgical outcomes of transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomies.
  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the TSV 25 system in a consecutive series of patients.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 35 patients (39 eyes) undergoing TSV with the TSV 25 system.
  • Analysis of preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative data, including surgical duration, anesthesia, hospital stay, visual acuity, and intraocular pressure.
  • Systematic review of the surgical technique employed.

Main Results:

  • The mean surgical duration was 32.85 minutes, with a mean hospital stay of 1.53 days.
  • Postoperative visual acuity improved significantly compared to preoperative levels.
  • Complications included one intraoperative conversion to conventional vitrectomy and several minor postoperative issues such as transient hypotony and posterior segment hemorrhage.

Conclusions:

  • Transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy, when performed with appropriate case selection and awareness of its limitations, is a safe and effective surgical procedure.
  • The TSV 25 system facilitates this minimally invasive approach with acceptable outcomes.
