Description
Purpose : To compare visual outcomes, intraoperative and postoperative complications of 25-gauge transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy (25-G TSV) versus conventional 20-gauge vitrectomy in epiretinal membrane (ERM) surgery. Methods : A retrospective comparative study was conducted on 200 eyes with idiopathic ERM who underwent either primary 20-gauge vitrectomy (n=95) or 25-G TSV (n=105) with 6 months follow up. The following parameters were collected and compared : age, gender, best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure (IOP), postoperative anterior chamber inflammation, intraoperative and postoperative complications. Results : Twenty-five gauge group achieved a significantly better vision at the 1st postoperative month (p=0.008) and a significantly higher incidence of visual improvement 6 months postoperatively (p=0.04) than 20-gauge group. Intraocular pressure was significantly higher at the 1st, 3rd and 6th postoperative months compared with baseline in the 20-G group. However, in the 25-gauge group IOP remained near to the baseline at the same period. Twenty five-gauge group achieved a significantly lower anterior chamber inflammation and a lower incidence of postoperative cystoid macular edema (CME) (p=0.01), hyphema (p=0.000) and after cataract (p=0.000) than 20-gauge group. Conclusions : The 25-gauge sutureless vitrectomy achieves rapid and higher visual improvement, less postoperative inflammation and complications than the 20-gauge vitrectomy in ERM surgery.
