Removal of 5000 Centistokes Silicone Oil using 25G Vitrectomy Technique

By Shlomit Schaal, M.D., Ph.D, Yoreh Barak, M.D., and Lana Rifkin, M.D.

Shlomit Schaal, M.D., Ph.D, Yoreh Barak, M.D., and Lana Rifkin, M.D. present the removal of 5000 Centistokes silicone oil using a sutureless 25G vitrectomy technique. A 54-year-old Caucasian female underwent scleral buckling and 20G vitrectomy surgery with 5000 centistokes silicone oil injection for the repair of a retinal detachment with proliferative vitreo-retinopathy. Silicone oil removal was performed six months later. The video presents the insertion of three 25G trocars in a beveled manner and silicone vacuum tube connection to an adapter which is placed over the superior temporal port. Aspiration and removal of silicone oil and fluid air exchange to washout any remnant oil bubbles followed by removal of the trocars is demonstrated.

25 Gauge Vitrectomy and Brilliant Blue Assisted ILM Peeling for Macular Hole

By Shlomit Schaal ,M.D., Ph.D, Omar A Saleh ,MD, and Jonathan D Gambrell, M.D.

Shlomit Schaal ,M.D., Ph.D, Omar Saleh ,M.D., and Jonathan Gambrell, M.D. present a 25 gauge vitrectomy surgery with ILM peel using brilliant blue G dye. A 56 year old Caucasian lady presented with a macular hole and a visual acuity of 20/100. A 25 gauge vitrectomy surgery is shown with the beveled insertion of trocars and the use of double-headed 29 gauge chandelier light source. 4mg in 0.1cc of preservative-free triamcinolone acetonide was injected to demonstrate the posterior hyaloid face. To stain the ILM, 0.02mg brilliant blue G dye in 0.1cc was injected and immediately washed out. The ILM was clearly demonstrated and easily peeled using only Eckhart’s forceps. Finally, SF6 gas was injected for tamponade of the hole. At the end of surgery, the eye appeared untouched. Patient’s vision improved to 20/25 post-operatively.

27 Gauge Vitrectomy and Membrane Peel

By Shlomit Schaal ,M.D., Ph.D, and Yoreh Barak ,M.D. and Lana Rifkin M.D.

Shlomit Schaal ,M.D., Ph.D, Yoreh Barak ,M.D., and Lana Rifkin M.D. present 27 gauge vitrectomy and membrane peel surgery. A 57-year-old, Caucasian male suffered from decreased vision secondary to an epiretinal membrane. 27 gauge vitrectomy using a 27 gauge vitrector and 27 gauge endo-illuminator is demonstrated (Synergetics). 27 gauge cannulas are inserted and an infusion cannula is connected infero-temporally. A 29 gauge double headed chandelier is introduced inferiorly. ICG dyd is used to stain the epiretinal membrane which is peeled using 27 gauge forceps. Endolaser photocoagulation around the sclerotomy sites using a 27 gauge laser probe is demonstrated. Air-fluid exchange is performed. The trocars are removed at the end of the surgery without leak from the sclerotomy sites.
