TLDR
The 25-gauge transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy system (TSV) was evaluated in vitro using balanced saline solution and porcine vitreous for several levels of aspiration power and bottle height.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Transconjunctival sutureless 23-gauge vitrectomy.
TL;DR: A method for transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy using a 23-gauge instrumentarium that overcomes this flaw is presented and causes no surgical trauma to the conjunctiva, requires no scleral suture, and leaves no postoperative suture-related astigmatism.

Outcomes of 140 consecutive cases of 25-gauge transconjunctival surgery for posterior segment disease
Rohit R. Lakhanpal,Mark S. Humayun,Eugene de Juan,Jennifer I. Lim,Lawrence P. Chong,Tom S. Chang,Michael Javaheri,Gildo Y. Fujii,Aaron Barnes,Terry J. Alexandrou +9 more
TL;DR: Transconjunctival surgery using 25-gauge instrumentation may hasten postoperative recovery by decreasing overall surgical time and postoperative inflammation and, thus, may be better suited for this surgical modality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Incidence of endophthalmitis after 20- and 25-gauge vitrectomy.
TL;DR: In this study population, 25-gauge vitrectomy had a statistically significant 12-fold higher incidence of endophthalmitis compared with 20- gauge Vitrectomy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Longer-term outcomes of transconjunctival sutureless 25-gauge vitrectomy.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors report longer-term outcomes in eyes undergoing 25-gauge transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy and show that less surgically complex vitreoretinal pathology may be successfully repaired with TSV.
Journal ArticleDOI
A 27–Gauge Instrument System for Transconjunctival Sutureless Microincision Vitrectomy Surgery
TL;DR: The 27-gauge system is feasible and may reduce concerns about wound sealing-related complications in selected cases, and analysis of the fluid dynamics showed that vented gas-forced infusion can be set to range from 20 to 30 mmHg to control intraocular pressure (IOP) during 27- gauge vitrectomy.

Sutureless Pars Plana Vitrectomy Through Self-sealing Sclerotomies
TL;DR: All of the 47 primary vitrectomy procedures performed had self-sealing sclerotomies that did not require suturing at the end of surgery, allowing for sutureless closure of sclerotomyies with better control of intraoperative ocular pressure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Postsurgical inflammation after phacoemulsification and extracapsular extraction with soft or conventional intraocular lens implantation
TL;DR: Both parameters in each group decreased to a similar level one month after surgery, but flare intensity in all groups remained significantly higher than that of age‐matched normal controls up to six months postoperatively.

Vitrectomy with an alternative instrument system.
O'Malley C,Heintz Rm +1 more
TL;DR: This is a description of an alternative type of vit rectomy instrument system which is characterized by specific advantages for mobilizing and removing sluggish intracapsular lens material, blood, debris, or plasmoid liquid pooled or sedimented at the posterior pole; and modular one-surgeon units adaptable to contemporary vitrectomy devices and techniques with a minimum of surgical or instrument modification.
