    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Instrumentation

    Background:

    • Deep vitrectomy requires specialized instruments for both surgical access and illumination.
    • Current instrumentation may not adequately address the need for integrated illumination in complex cases.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a newly developed 19-gauge illuminating infusion probe.
    • To highlight its utility in deep vitrectomy procedures requiring intraocular illumination.

    Main Methods:

    • Development and application of a 19-gauge illuminating infusion probe.
    • Utilized in deep vitrectomy procedures over a four-year period.

    Main Results:

    • The illuminating infusion probe has been successfully used for four years.
    • Demonstrated utility in deep vitrectomy surgeries.
