25-GAUGE VITRECTOMY USING SULFUR HEXAFLUORIDE AND NO PRONE POSITIONING FOR REPAIR OF MACULAR HOLES

Abstract

Macular hole closure rates similar to those achieved using pars plana vitrectomy with perfluoropropane and prone positioning can be achieved using sutureless 25-gauge vitrectomy with sulfur hexafluoride tamponade and no prone positioning for both phakic and pseudophakic patients.
