SMALL-GAUGE VITRECTOMY DOES NOT PROTECT AGAINST NUCLEAR SCLEROTIC CATARACT
@article{Almony2012SMALLGAUGEVD, title={SMALL-GAUGE VITRECTOMY DOES NOT PROTECT AGAINST NUCLEAR SCLEROTIC CATARACT}, author={Arghavan Almony and Nancy M Holekamp and Fang Bai and Ying Bo Shui and David C. Beebe}, journal={Retina}, year={2012}, volume={32}, pages={499-505} }
Purpose: To determine whether the gauge of vitrectomy instrumentation is associated with the progression of nuclear sclerotic cataract. Methods: A prospective interventional and observational study of patients undergoing vitrectomy surgery for various retinal conditions. Patients had Scheimpflug lens photography in the operated and fellow eye at baseline and at 6 months and 12 months after vitrectomy surgery. Results: Of 42 eyes included in the analysis, 11 had 20-gauge surgery, 22 had 23-gauge…

The visual capacity may significantly improve after the cataract surgery; however, the magnitude of such capacity will be determined by the extension and severity of the underlying vitreous-retinal pathology.

The rate of myopia progression was higher in the macular hole group after surgery than that in the epiretinal membrane group, and correlation was observed between longer surgical time and the use of surgical adjuvants.

PPV combined withCataract extraction offers a faster improvement in VA than PPV alone with deferred cataract surgery, and PPV should be considered in symptomatic eyes with ERM and VA of 20/40 or better, in order to preserve and even improve the VA.

The only risk factor associated with cataract progression following lens-sparing vitrectomy is age for both types of patients, and the change in refraction was significantly and positively correlated with age in RRD and ERM.

Pars plana vitrectomy with SO injection seems to be a safe and efficient surgical approach in the treatment of primary uncomplicated rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in patients living in high altitude (>1,000 m); PPV and SO injection are associated with good anatomical and functional outcomes in the authors' series.

PPV without postoperative prone positioning is associated with a higher reattachment rate in eyes with a RRD, especially those with inferior retinal breaks, and might be beneficial to manage RRDs associated with inferior Retinal breaks if ILM peeling is performed intraoperatively.
