Enrico Bertelli, Paolo Santorum, Italy Background: Episcleral explants made of hydrogel (methylacrylate-2-hydroxyethylacrylate, MIRAgel, Medical Instruments Research Associates Inc., Waltham, MA) have been widely used as scleral buckles as an alternative to silicone buckles. These sponge-like material presented some theorical advantages: it was soft and elastic, therefore easier to manipulate, and gentler on the sclera intraoperatively; it...

ABSTRACT Silicone Oil-related visual loss can be defined as a visual decrease of at least 2 Snellen lines (SL) following Silicone oil removal, caused by the acute development of an irreversible, central scotoma. In two recently published, large case series the incidence of this phenomenon varies from 3,3% to 5,9%. While extensive ERG abnormalities have been frequently described in this affection, FA and OCT-abnormalities have not yet been...

RETINA PHOTO           ABSTRACT Background: Ultra-wide field (UWF) imaging of the fundus (Optos, Daytona) is a valuable diagnostic tool, allowing the acquisition of up to 200° of the retina in a single image. The instrument requires the patient to lean forward towards the instrument, keeping the eye well open and correctly aligned in the acquisition opening, fixating the aiming light. It is therefore generally...

Treatment of Severely Visually Impairing Ectopia Lentis Related to Marfan Syndrome in Pre-school Children: Report of 2 Cases Now Approaching 3 and 5 Years Follow-up Respectively SCIENTIFIC POSTER Treatment of Severely Visually Impairing Ectopia Lentis Related to Marfan Syndrome in Pre-school Children by Enrico Bertelli ABSTRACT The Authors report results in terms of safety and efficacy of phacoaspiration, capsulectomy, anterior vitrectomy...

Treatment of Post-traumatic Hypotony Related to Cyclodialysis Cleft: Our Experience in Two Cases ABSTRACT The Authors present two different surgical approaches in the treatment of hypotony following post-traumatic cyclodyalisis clefts. Cyclodialysis cleft is a rare post-traumatic complication, often difficult to treat, in spite of multiple surgeries. Case reports: A 29 YO male patient developed cyclodialysis cleft after a penetrating...

Purpose: To illustrate a personal approach to the accidental intraoperative finding of a very large (8mm max. diameter) Vasoproliferative Retinal Tumor (VPRT) during Phacovitrectomy for long-standing Coat’s disease. Background: VPRTs are benign, vascular masses located in the peripheral retina. Shields and Coworkers have classified them as idiopathic or secondary to congenital, inflammatory, vascular, traumatic, dystrophic or...

Purpose: Severe types of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) have a chronic and persisting nature. Multimodal imaging presently allows thorough documentation of apparently quiescent phases, as well as acute exudative episodes. Limited information concerning long-term natural history of severe CSC is available in the literature. The purpose of the Authors is to report clinical and multimodal imaging features of a bilateral, severe case...

http://www.evrs.eu/medias/2010/congress/Central-Serous-Chorioretinopathy.flv Enrico Bertelli, Stefano Coser, Veronika Rogger (Bolzano, Italy) Advantages: Various authors have reported that photodynamic therapy (PDT) can be an effective treatment for serous exudation in Central Serous Chorioretinopathy (CSC). This approach is based on the notion that choroidal hyperpermeability, as demonstrated by indocyanine green angiography, is an...

http://www.evrs.eu/medias/2010/videos/EnricoBertelli_VP6_768K.flv Enrico Bertelli, Paolo Pelanda (Bolzano, Italy) Advantages: 23 Gauge transconjunctival vitrectomy is a minimally invasive vitreoretinal technique that offers the advantages of sutureless surgery combined with the benefits of a sturdy instrumentation, this latter feature making it potentially suitable for a large number of indications. Methods: The video highlights the ample...

http://www.evrs.eu/medias/2009/videos/EnricoBertelli_VP6_768K.flv Author: Enrico Bertelli, Bolzano, Italy Advantages: 27G Eckardt twinlight chandelier (DORC, Zuidland, Holland) is a light probe that has been made available on the market since mid-2008, with the purpose of facilitating bimanual vitreoretinal surgery. The instrument consists of 2 separate optic fibers, that can be independently inserted through the sclera. Methods: In 15...

http://www.evrs.eu/medias/2009/congress/How-to-Reduce-Complications.flv Authors: Enrico Bertelli, Stefano Coser, Paolo Pelanda, Veronika Rogger, Bolzano, Italy Advantages: Post-surgical hypotony is a rare but potentially dangerous complication of mini-invasive sutureless vitrectomy. Individual characteristics of the sclera or variables in dynamic and extension of performed vitrectomy may lead to unpredictable selfsealing features of...

http://www.evrs.eu/medias/2009/congress/20-Gauge-23-Gauge-25-Gauge.flv Authors: Enrico Bertelli, Stefano Coser, Paolo Pelanda, Helga Pernter, Bolzano, Italy Advantages: An original, modified, transconjunctival, 2-step 23G microcannula insertion technique is presented. The advantage of this bimanual, modified technique is that an instrument is constantly engaging the sclerotomy. Methods: In our modified two-step technique the introduction of...

Enrico Bertelli, Bolzano, Italy Advantages: 27G Eckardt twinlight chandelier (DORC, Zuidland, Holland) is a light probe that has been made available on the market since mid-2008, with the purpose of facilitating bimanual vitreoretinal surgery. The instrument consists of 2 separate optic fibers, that can be independently inserted through the sclera. Methods: In 15 consecutive eyes 27G twinlight chandelier was used as exclusive light source...

http://www.evrs.eu/medias/2008/congress/The-Snowstorm-Technique:-Triamcinolone-Suspension-in-the- Infusion-Bottle.flv Enrico Bertelli Advantages: Triamcinolone Acetonide (TA)-assisted vitrectomy has been first described in 2000, and has become popular among vitreoretinal surgeons. Vitreous staining properties of TA suspension in the conventional use improve visualization of vitreous fibers and vitreoretinal interface. However they offer...

Enrico Bertelli, Stefano Coser, Chiara M Eandi Advantages: In the era of pharmacological therapy for the treatment of proliferative and/or exudative maculopathies intravitreal injections have become the principal route of administration of drugs. To our knowledge, to date only 27 G and 30 G needles have been used for intravitreal administration of these drugs. 32 G needles are routinely used in laboratories for intravitreal injections in...
