Yannek I. Leiderman, MD, PhD, demonstrates techniques for performing vitrectomy without the aid of an ophthalmic assistant. This video highlights a number of basic surgical elements and instruments, including peripheral vitrectomy with scleral indentation, peripheral laser retinopexy, optimizing use of a self-retaining endoilluminator, and illuminated endolaser. This video is a companion to an article in Retina Today.

nice video - which chandelier endoilluminator did you use via the 25g trocar? - another useful trick I find helpful during independent vitrectomy is to indent the sclera using a 23g light pipe set to maximum illumination - this enables transillumination of the retina and vitreous to facilitate vitreous base shaving without the need for additional chandelier illumination (also works with 25g light pipes but more difficult)

I now use the Alcon Constellation Chandelier, as it is well integrated with the Alcon 25G cannula and vitrectomy system, but I have tried a number of other systems, predominantly from Synergetics. Thanks for your input!
