    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Techniques

    Background:

    • Vitrectomy surgery requires precise instrument manipulation.
    • Current methods may limit the number of instruments used simultaneously.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a novel approach for subdividing surgical functions during vitrectomy.
    • To enhance instrument accessibility and versatility in the vitreous cavity.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing a separate, suture-secured fiberoptic endoilluminator.
    • Employing a modified infusion cannula in the inferior quadrants.
    • Maintaining two superior sclerotomies for instrument insertion.

    Main Results:

    • Enables unimpeded access for various surgical instruments.
