Oral Sedation in Vitreoretinal Surgery
Macular HolesIntraocular Lens Opacification6 moreThe purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of oral sedation to intravenous sedation with anesthesiology support and monitoring.
Anti-VEGF Instead of Intraoperative Fan-shaped Photocoagulation in BRVO Combined With Vitreous Hemorrhage...
Anti-VEGFBranch Retinal Vein Occlusion1 moreTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of Anti-VEGF instead of intraoperative fan-shaped photocoagulation in BRVO combined with vitreous hemorrhage.
Adjuvant Intravitreal Bevacizumab in Pars Plana Vitrectomy for Diabetic Vitreous Hemorrhage
RecurrentHemorrhagePostoperative vitreous hemorrhage is a common complication after vitrectomy for proliferative diabetic retinopathy. There have been efforts to lower the incidence of postoperative vitreous hemorrhage such as preoperative bevacizumab injection. Bevacizumab (Avastin) is a potent inhibitor of angiogenesis and has been shown to decrease retinal and iris neovascularization in proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Recently there have been reports showing that preoperative bevacizumab injection could reduce intraoperative bleeding from abnormal vessels and could make surgery easier and more successful. Our hypothesis is that intraoperative bevacizumab injection could reduce postoperative vitreous hemorrhage by inhibiting the vessel formation after surgery. We started the prospective randomized comparative study to determine the effect of pre and intra-operative bevacizumab injection on postoperative vitreous hemorrhage after diabetic vitrectomy in comparison to vitrectomy without any adjuvant drug.
Adjuvant Intravitreal Bevacizumab in Pars Plana Vitrectomy for Vitreous Hemorrhage
Vitreous Hemorrhage Secondary to PDRThe purpose of this study is to determine the effect of pre and intra-operative bevacizumab injection on postoperative vitreous hemorrhage after diabetic vitrectomy in comparison to vitrectomy without bevacizumab injection.
Different Hemostasis According to the Anesthetic Agents
CataractRetina Detachment3 moreWe investigated the hemostatic differences according to the main anesthetic agents by analyzing rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) under the hypothesis that propofol-based anesthesia would impair postoperative coagulability more than the sevoflurane-based anesthesia.
Refractive Changes Following Vitrectomy
Retinal DetachmentRefractive Errors2 moreWe aimed o compare the refractive changes associated with pars plana vitrectomy with or without intraocular gas tamponade in pseudophakic eyes. This retrospective study included pseudophakic patients with Nd:YAG laser posterior capsulotomy who underwent 23G PPV between February 2015 and March 2019. Group 1 consisted of patients with regmatogenous RD who underwent PPV and 12% perflouropropane (C3F8) gas tamponade whereas Group 2 consisted of patients who underwent PPV for epiretinal membrane or vitreous hemorrhage (VH). No tamponade was used in Group 2. Minimum follow-up was 12 months.
Intravitreal Ozurdex After Pars Plana Vitrectomy for Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy
Proliferative Diabetic RetinopathyTo evaluate if intravitreal Ozurdex can reduce the incidence of recurrent vitreous hemorrhage after primary pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDRP).
