Outcomes of transconjuctival sutureless 27-gauge vitrectomy for stage 4 retinopathy of prematurity

AIM: To report our initial experience with lens-sparing vitrectomy for stage 4 retinopathy of prematurity using the 27-gauge (G) system. METHODS: This retrospective case series involved nine eyes of five babies with active stage 4 ROP, who underwent 27-G lens-sparing vitrectomy. Surgery was done usi...

description AIM: To report our initial experience with lens-sparing vitrectomy for stage 4 retinopathy of prematurity using the 27-gauge (G) system. METHODS: This retrospective case series involved nine eyes of five babies with active stage 4 ROP, who underwent 27-G lens-sparing vitrectomy. Surgery was done using 27-G valved cannulas and sclerotomies were made 1.5 mm from the limbus. Bilateral sequential vitrectomy was done in eight eyes. RESULTS: At one-year follow-up, anatomical outcome was favourable in all nine (100%) eyes. High-speed cutting and smaller sclerotomies were helpful in reducing the intra and post-operative complications. CONCLUSION: 27-G vitrectomy is well suited for stage 4 ROP surgeries.
