- Abstract
- Supplemental Digital Content is Available in the Text. Purpose:To introduce a new surgical technique with a beveled vitrectomy probe for the removal of peripheral vitreous cortex remnants (VCR) in primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD).Methods:This study was a retrospective case series. From September 2019 to June 2022, 54 patients with complete or partial posterior vitreous detachment who underwent vitrectomy for primary RRD by a single surgeon were enrolled.Results:After staining the vitreous with triamcinolone acetonide, the presence of VCR was assessed in detail. If VCR were present, the macular VCR were removed using surgical forceps, and then, a free flap of peripheral VCR was used as a handle for removing peripheral VCR using the beveled vitrectomy probe. Of the total patients, the presence of VCR was confirmed in 16 patients (29.6%). There were no intraoperative or postoperative complications, except for retinal redetachment caused by proliferative vitreoretinopathy, that occurred in only one eye (1.9%).Conclusion:Using a beveled vitrectomy probe was a practical solution for removing VCR during RRD vitrectomy because additional instruments were not needed and risk of iatrogenic retinal damage was low.
