AI Summary
Small-gauge, sutureless pars plana vitrectomy effectively manages vitreous loss during cataract surgery by safely removing vitreous, maintaining eye pressure, and minimizing traction, offering a better clinical outcome.
Abstract
This technique manages vitreous prolapse associated with posterior capsule rupture during phacoemulsification by performing small-gauge pars plana vitrectomy with a sutureless, self-sealing incision performed in a closed chamber, maintaining normal intraocular pressure. A high-speed cutter exerts minimal traction on the vitreous. Accessibility to the vitreous through the pars plana is better, ensuring more complete removal of the vitreous and restoration of normal anatomy.
