BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: To describe a technique of 25-gauge pars plana lensectomy with primary posterior capsulotomy and sparing of the anterior lens capsule that is suitable for all lens densities PATIENTS AND METHODS: The authors describe a technique they routinely employ for pars plana vitrectomy using primarily a 25-gauge, three-port approach with intraoperative lens density assessment and possible fragmatome use for dense lenses. An analysis of the ability to achieve surgical goals is provided RESULTS: Surgical goals were achieved in all 68 cases performed during an 18-month period. Anterior lens capsule was consistently spared, and 25-gauge fluidics functioned well even in the presence of a fragmatome and single 20-gauge sclerotomy CONCLUSION: 25-gauge pars plana lensectomy with vitrectomy with and without fragmatome incision is an efficacious technique for lensectomy |
