does 25 gauge work well for vitreous base shaving?

I cannot finish without checking the periphery. Anyway, it´s amazing how easy and fast Didier do it. Great job.

2 Questions Dr. Dicorneau, extracting that small amount of vitreous would not leave the patient with miodesopsy?, Would not be prudent to check under the sclerotomy at the end of the surgery for posible retinal dyalisis made by the forceps? thank you, I really liked your technique but I would have made a little more vitrectomy at least trough the ecuator and clean the entry site, that would be like 5 or 10 minutes more so I guess I would loss too :(
