THE INTEGRATIVE SURGICAL THEATER: Combining Intraoperative Optical Coherence Tomography and 3D Digital Visualization for Vitreoretinal Surgery in the DISCOVER Study.

TL;DR: The DISCOVER study as discussed by the authors evaluated the feasibility of integrating intraoperative optical coherence tomography (OCT) with a digital visualization platform for vitreoretinal surgery and found that OCT images facilitated identification of subtle retinal alterations.

The Preliminary Experiences with Three-Dimensional Heads-Up Display Viewing System for Vitreoretinal Surgery under Various Status

TL;DR: Vitreoretinal surgery under various status can be well finished with the HUD platform by novice at the system, and main benefits included lower endoillumination intensity, enhanced users’ preference, and improved ergonomics.

Clinical Study on the Initial Experiences of French Vitreoretinal Surgeons with Heads-up Surgery.

TL;DR: Evaluating the initial experience of four experienced vitreoretinal surgeons in France with a three-dimensional (3-D) system finds that Vitrectomy surgery to treat MHs and RRDs can be performed using the 3-D with the same efficiency as microscopy.

Comparing Heads-Up versus Binocular Microscope Visualization Systems in Anterior and Posterior Segment Surgeries: A Retrospective Study.

TL;DR: Compared to a standard binocular microscope in routine ophthalmologic procedures, 3D visualization can be safely used in routine practice and slightly improves the operative fluency, allowing faster PK surgery.

Premacular membrane formation after scleral buckling for primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment: prospective study and pathophysiological insights.

TL;DR: The incidence of postoperative PMM formation after RRD repair with SB alone was high, and in retinal detachments involving the macular region PMM were more severe, tending to anatomical progression and functional deterioration.

The prospective intraoperative and perioperative ophthalmic imaging with optical CoherEncE TomogRaphy (PIONEER) study: 2-year results

TL;DR: Surgeon feedback indicated that intraoperative OCT informed surgical decision making and altered surgeon understanding of underlying tissue configurations in 69 of 144 lamellar keratoplasty cases and 63 of 146 membrane peeling procedures, indicating that intraoper OCT is feasible for numerous anterior and posterior segment ophthalmic surgical procedures.

Endoillumination during vitrectomy and phototoxicity thresholds.

TL;DR: Commercially available light sources for endoillumination during vitrectomy are not safe with respect to photochemical retinal damage, and even with maximal precautions macular phototoxic damage remains a factual danger during vit rectomy.
