Vitrectomy

07/01/2013 - "The study demonstrated fair efficacy of vitrectomy and fluid-gas exchange in the treatment of retinal detachment in highly myopic eyes with an axial length over 30 mm."
06/01/1994 - "The best results were obtained in patients receiving primary vitrectomy for complicated retinal detachment. "
11/01/1986 - "Vitrectomy surgery is effective for diabetic vitreous haemorrhage and traction retinal detachment, producing improved vision in most patients, but only a relatively small percentage of patients so treated recover good visual acuity (greater than or equal to 6/12). "
06/01/2004 - "Nevertheless, primary vitrectomy in combination with scleral buckling has led to a marked decrease of primary failure rate and improvement of functional results in retinal detachment surgery."
09/01/1993 - "The spots were mainly noted in idiopathic cases and resolved completely in a few weeks, and the pattern was observed in macular pucker cases after retinal detachment surgery and persisted for a long time after vitrectomy."

07/01/2015 - "Vitrectomy may be successful in closing the macular hole with visual acuity improvement in most of the cases."
08/01/2013 - "Pars plana vitrectomy with ILM peeling and gas tamponade is highly effective and safe treatment of idiopathic macular hole.Key"
01/01/1996 - "Whereas early pilot studies of vitrectomy of impending (stage I) macular hole suggested beneficial results (80-95% of operated eyes did not progress to FTMH), no such benefit could be demonstrated by a subsequent randomised treatment trial. "
06/01/2015 - "25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy with briliant blue assisted internal limiting membrane peeling and gas tamponade is safe and effective method of macular hole therapy with high anatomic and functional effect."
01/01/2014 - "Since Kelly and Wendel [Arch Ophthalmol 1991;109:654-659] first reported successfully treating macular holes (MHs) using pars plana vitrectomy in 1991, MH surgery has been constantly improved. "

01/01/2007 - "Pars plana vitrectomy with ILM peeling was effective in reducing persistent diabetic macular edema in most of the cases. "
01/01/2011 - "In eyes with macular edema secondary to RVO, pars plana vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane peeling can resolve macular edema, but the improvement in BCVA was not statistically significant in this study."
01/01/2006 - "A prospective, comparative, nonrandomized study to evaluate the efficacy of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with and without inner limiting membrane (ILM) peeling for persistent diffuse clinically significant macular edema. "
11/01/2009 - "Vitrectomy with ILM peeling seems to be beneficial for macular edema secondary to RVO in patients treated within 1 month from the onset of symptoms. "
04/01/2009 - "Pars plana vitrectomy with and without internal limiting membrane peeling appears to be beneficial in eyes with diffuse nontractional diabetic macular edema, and its effectiveness is maintained long term."

03/01/2005 - "A combination of primary capsulorhexis with "dry" anterior vitrectomy is most effective in the prevention of secondary cataract."
09/01/2009 - "Intraoperative use of TA can visualize posterior hyaloid, preretinal membrane, internal limiting membrane (ILM) during pars plana vitrectomy, and prolapsed vitreous during cataract surgery, which can make the procedure very safe and effective. "
01/01/2003 - "Statistically significant improvement in visual acuity was observed after cataract surgery, compared to the results after vitrectomy in the study group and in the control group. "
10/01/2010 - "Combined transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy and phacoemulsification was effective and safe in patients with significant lens opacities and vitreoretinal pathology. "
03/01/2008 - "Total removal of cataract, anterior vitrectomy, and scleral fixation of a posterior chamber (PC) intraocular lens (IOL) has been tried as a surgical alternative, searching for lessened postsurgical complications and a better outcome. "

04/01/2012 - "Visual outcome has improved significantly in eyes with complications due to diabetic retinopathy compared with the previously reported Diabetic Vitrectomy Study."
10/01/1983 - "Visual loss from the complications of advanced diabetic retinopathy now can be managed more effectively by surgical vitrectomy with a significant reduction in operative and postoperative ocular morbidity. "
11/01/2010 - "Twenty three-gauge transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy appears to be as effective for proliferative diabetic retinopathy as 20-gauge vitrectomy."
11/01/2009 - "These results suggest that vitrectomy for diabetic retinopathy may be effective in increasing the quality of life of patients with diabetic retinopathy."
02/01/2008 - "NEI VFQ-25 quantitatively clarified that vitrectomy for diabetic retinopathy is effective in increasing the QOL of diabetic retinopathy patients."
