“…However, concerns have been raised with regard to the occurrence of postoperative hypotony and endophthalmitis, and it has also been questioned whether narrow gauge surgery is associated with an increased rate of peripheral retinal break formation in macular surgery and a lower success rate in retinal reattachment surgery compared with 20 gauge surgery 5,6…”

Background:To assess the rate and type of retinal break formation in patients undergoing 23 gauge transconjunctival vitrectomy surgery for complications of proliferative diabetic retinopathy compared with 20 gauge vitrectomy surgery. Methods: Retrospective case notes review of two consecutive series of patients who had primary pars plana vitrectomy for complications of proliferative diabetic retinopathy by a single surgeon. The control group had standard 20 gauge vitrectomy surgery whilst the second group had 23 gauge transconjunctival vitrectomy surgery. Results: Eighty-five eyes were included in the 20 gauge group and 85 eyes in the 23 gauge group. The groups were well matched for surgical complexity and indications for surgery, as well as a variety of other preoperative variables. There was a significant reduction in the incidence of peripheral sclerotomy-related retinal breaks and lesions suspicious for breaks (4/85

“…However, one pathology for which this might not be the case is retinal detachment [61]. Most surgeons agree that the removal of peripheral vitreous is important in the management of retinal detachment by vitrectomy, and that indentation of the periphery is helpful in locating retinal breaks.…”

The introduction of pars plana vitrectomy was a revolution in ophthalmic surgery which allowed successful treatment of many previously untreatable conditions. After rapid early technical development, 3-port 20-gauge vitrectomy became established as the norm. Recent years have seen the introduction of new and innovative systems for performing vitrectomy without the need for sutures. This article describes the history of sutureless vitrectomy, and reviews the literature addressing the advantages and disadvantages of each technique.
