25-gauge vitrectomy

Hello people,

I was continuing to enhance my knowledge on the methods to remove the
epi-retinal layer/traction on the surface of the retina.

The standard technique is vitrectomy.

I came across this new enhanced technique called, 25-gauge
vitrectomy. the trials and many articles found in the web shows this
technique to be promising in many aspects for a particular bunch of
people.

I would like to receive your comments and anybodies experience with
this technique.

regards,
Raj

 

Hello,

Could somebody please please teach me how I may perform this surgery?

It sounds very interesting.

 

You may not perform such surgery.
You will need a licinse to perform a surgery.
You will need to go to med school, pass the exams, earn a degree, work
for a couple of years as a resident before you are allwed to touch a
patient with surgical equipment.
By then you will be corrupt like all those that you now call idiots
and stupid. Pehaps more.

 

Raj, I believe that most of the retinal surgeons in my area (Chicago)
now use the newer "sutureless" 23-gauge or 25-gauge equipment for many
procedures. The newer equipment increases patient comfort post-
surgery and speeds up recovery time. However, I'm not sure that it
makes a difference in surgical results.
