A Novel Approach to In-Office Air-Fluid Exchange Utilizing a 27-Gauge Valved Trocar Cannula
Background And Objective:
To describe a new approach for in-office air-fluid exchange.
Patients And Methods:
This manuscript describes a procedural technique. A retrospective chart review of three patients on whom the procedure was performed is presented.
Results:
The authors have performed this novel procedure on three eyes of three patients. All patients were followed for at least 3 months after the procedure. No short-term complications occurred, and no secondary procedures were required to achieve a near-complete air-fluid exchange.
Conclusion:
This novel technique is a reliable and reproducible procedure that allows for in-office air-fluid exchange with good results in this small cohort of patients. [Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina. 2018;49:799-801.].
