Vitreo-Macular Traction Syndrome
Martin Charles, MD, presents a case of vitreo-macular traction syndrome. A 3-port 23G vitrectomy is performed with the Constellation Vision System (Alcon Laboratories, Fort Worth, TX). After a core vitrectomy, the posterior hyaloid is stained with Triamcinolone and a 360 degree circumcision of the posterior hyaloid is performed using only aspiration.

23 and 25 g vitrectomy works great in these cases
why in this casе you prеfеr 23G vitrectomy? and not 25G vitrectomy?
The reason why the disc changes side is that i use at the first part of the surgery an indirect lens , then I change to a direct lens to start the ILM peeling , and in the final part I swith another tome to an indirect lens. As I use a leica microscope with 2 different optical pathways and the camera is attached to the assistant side the image recorded is inverted as it doesn't has reinverter in that pathway , by the way I think it is a good observation
i think these are two different case i guess, the disc changes side
The Brilliant BLue is sold by Geuder Germany, It is fantastic. It has a new formulation mixed with heavy water. The ILM forceps controlled through the footpedal is proportional, I recomend using the final pressure in 50 (Max) , then you will have a better grip of the ILM. Youi should try it, it´s great !!!!
Thanks for the video. I'd love to try Brilliant Blue, but I haven't been able to find anyone here in the U.S. to sell it to me. How is the foot pedal control on that forceps? Is it proportional to the pressure applied by your foot, or "all of nothing"?
