COMPARISON OF CLINICAL OUTCOMES AND WOUND DYNAMICS OF SCLEROTOMY PORTS OF 20, 25, AND 23 GAUGE VITRECTOMY

Abstract

The small gauge systems are safe and equally effective than the 20-G system for non-complicated vitreous hemorrhage cases with faster recovery and more comfort for the patient. Increased vitreous clogging with small gauge systems does not extrapolate to an increased risk of complications.
