Möglichkeiten und Grenzen der innovativen Vitrektomiesysteme

Abstract: The use of both innovative vitrectomy systems offers the advantage of a faster and less invasive surgical procedure. However, there are disadvantages which limit the indications for 25-gauge vitrectomy. The 23-gauge vitrectomy may overcome these disadvantages and - due to its wider range of application - may be used instead of conventional 20-gauge vitrectomy in most cases. It may therefore become the new standard for vitrectomy.

“…With advances in instrumentation and understanding of vitreoretinal patho-physiology, the indications of vitrectomy have been expanded to a variety of diseases such as simple rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, macular hole, and macular edema [2,3]. Early vitrectomy was used for diseases in which the vitreous body was visible due to vitreous hemorrhage, proliferative diabetic retinopathy, and asteroid hyalosis [4,5], while at present, indications for vitrectomy include eyes with clear vitreous such as macular hole and macular edema, and removal of transparent hyaloids and/or internal limiting membrane (ILM) has become the standard procedure [2,[6][7][8]. Despite advances in surgical instrumentation and techniques, the vitrectomy procedure continues to demand both skill and experience [9].…”

“…Ein offensichtlicher Vorteil der 25-und 23-Gauge-Vitrektomie ist der geringe Reizzustand des vorderen Augenabschnitts in der frühen postoperativen Phase [3,45]. In einer vergleichenden Studie von Kellner et al konnte schon bei relativ geringer Fallzahl ein signifikanter Unterschied mit erhçhtem Patientenkomfort zugunsten der 25-Gauge-gegenüber der 20-Gauge-Vitrektomie gefunden werden [23].…”

“…Nachdem das zur Verfügung stehende Instrumentarium in der Einführungsphase der 25-und 23-Gauge noch relativ beschränkt war, stehen dem Operateur nun alle für eine primäre Vitrektomie notwendigen Instrumente einschließlich ausreichender Endoillumination, Pinzetten, Scheren und Endolaser- [3]. Auch eine Silikontamponade kann bei schwierigen intraoperativen Situationen bei entsprechender Technik mit 25-Gauge-und 23-Gauge-Zugangssystemen verwendet werden [33,40].…”
