Abstract

To determine the efficacy and safety of 23 G transconjunctival sutureless pars plana vitrectomy. Materials and Methods: Forty eyes of 40 patients who underwent 23 G transconjunctival sutureless pars plana vitrectomy comprised the study group. Patients were examined preoperatively, and after 1 day, and 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively. A complete ophthalmological examination, including visual acuity, applanation tonometry, biomicroscopic examination, and dilated fundus examination, was performed at all examinations. All patients were operated on using a standard 23 G vitrectomy technique via three-port tunnel sclerotomies. Results: The mean age of patients was 55.6 ± 9.8 years (range, 22-73). None of the eyes developed endophthalmitis. Overall, the median preoperative visual acuity was finger counting at 2 m, and the median postoperative visual acuity after a mean follow-up of 6 months was 10/100. Six eyes developed hypotonia (15%) on postoperative day 1. Subconjunctival hemorrhage (25%) and wound leakage (12.5%) were the most common intraoperative complications; hypotonia (15%), cataract (10%), and conjunctival irritation (5%) were the other postoperative complications. Conclusion: 23 G transconjunctival sutureless pars plana vitrectomy is an effective and safe technique for selected cases. It is advantageous due to its fast postoperative wound restoration.

Özet

23 G transkonjonktival sütürsüz pars plana vitrektomi- nin etkinliğini ve güvenilirliğini tespit etmek. Gereç ve Yöntem: 23 G transkonjonktival sütürsüz pars plana vitrektomi uygulanan kırk hastanın 40 gözü bu çalışmaya alındı. Hastalar ameliyat öncesinde ve ameliyattan sonra birinci gün, birinci ay, üçüncü ay ve altıncı ayda muaye- ne edildi. Olguların başlangıç ve takip muayenelerinde görme değerleri, göz içi basıncı değerleri, biyomikroskopi bulguları ve pupil dilatasyonu sonrası göz dibi muayenesi- ni içeren tüm göz muayene bulguları değerlendirildi. Tüm hastalar üç girişli tünel sklerotomisi uygulanan 23 G stan- dart vitrektomi tekniği ile ameliyat edildi. Sonuç: Tüm hastalarda ortalama yaş 55.6±9.8 yıldı (22-73 yıl). Hiçbir olguda endoftalmi gözlenmedi. Hastalarımız- da ameliyat öncesi ortalama görme keskinliği 2 metre- den parmak sayma düzeyindeydi. Ameliyat sonrası altıncı ayda bu değer ortalama 0.1 düzeyine yükseldi. Altı olguda (%15) ameliyat sonrası 1. günde oküler hipotoni gözlen- di. Subkonjonktival kanama (%25) ve kesi yeri sızdırması (%12,5) ameliyat sırasında en sık karşılaşılan komplikas- yonlar iken, ameliyat sonrası komplikasyonların başında hipotoni (%15), katarakt (%10) ve konjonktiva iritasyonu (%5) gelmekteydi. Tartışma: 23 G transkonjonktival sütürsüz pars plana vitrekto- mi arka segmentin seçilmiş vakalarında etkin ve güvenilir bir yöntemdir. Bu teknik ameliyat sonrası yara yerinin hızlı iyileşmesi açısından avantajlıdır.
