Drushti|Eye and Retina Center:-Whether Gauge Is Important In Vitreous Surgery

I would like to share a thought with you today the trend is towards 27g vitrectomy with 10,000 to 12,000 cut rate, which is probably also commercially driven to remain ahead in the race.
But the simple fact remains that a good surgery is a must irrespective of 23, 25 or 27gauge vitrectomy.
The first patient 20years old seen by us a year back had advanced fibro vascular membrane over disc & going superiorly.
He underwent vitrectomy elsewhere with 27g & has large holes in retina & No PL vision in the eye post-surgery.
The second patient 21 years old had advanced fibro vascular membrane from the disc going superiorly with tractional detachment.
He underwent 23g vitrectomy at our place & has recovered with 6/36 N8p vision post op.
Both eyes patient had Eale’s Disease
