I have had several retina trained docs tell me they would testify against any ant. segment surgeon if any complications occured and would be successful as ant segment docs have no "formal" training in ppv. We have been very shy to go in pars plana. Thanks for a great video! Awesome Technique
hey Z mario....easy my friend!!!!...good anterior vitrectomy leads to better results...and you know it!!!. greetings
Dear Marcos
Being a VR Surgeon, I think, This is well managed PCR cases. But care to be taken, if any cortical substances remained in the vitreous cavity. If those are very small cases , post operative Oral steroids will help.
From 6 to 15% in iatrogenic retinal breaks from pars plana vitrectomy, anterior segment surgeons, please remain in the anterior segment, just one piece of advise
It´s not easy to make artistic videos with complications, congratulations. One question what about iridectomy, when do you consider it´s necesary?
