Chatterjee, Aditya Kelkat, Abhijit Chattopadhyay (Kolkata, India) Advantages: Diabetic retinopathy is one of the leading causes of blindness in the world. Vitrectomy may not only remove vitreous hemorrhage but also prevent or relieve traction on the retina from contraction of the fibrovascular membranes that characterize severe...

http://www.evrs.eu/medias/2006/videos/Surgical-Management-of-Vitreo-retinal-Proliferation.flv Jeroni Nadal, MD (Barcelona, Spain) SYNOPSIS Techniques and surgical manoeuvres are presented in the management of proliferative vitreo-retinophaty (PVR) including unimanual and bimanual surgery. Special procedures like peeling under perfluoro-carbon, use of biological stains to visualize the different proliferative menbranes, and viscosurgery to...

Luiz Eduardo de Aguiar Marques, MD (Irvine, CA), Faisal Jehan, MD (Irvine, CA), Bogdan Alexandrescu, MD (Irvine, CA), Baruch D. Kuppermann, MD, PhD (Irvine, CA)* SYNOPSIS We show 25-gauge surgeries with an emphasis on external aspects and our technique of tunnelled incisions. We also demonstrate situations that may occur during surgery (cannulas coming out, suturing…). Internal limiting peeling in a diabetic patient, aqueous...

http://www.evrs.eu/medias/2006/videos/Bimanual-Vitreous-Surgery-Using-Xenon-Light-Illuminated- Translucent-Forceps-and-Illuminated-Infusion-Line.flv Ching J. Chen, MD (Jackson, MS), Michael C. Palmer, MD (Jackson, MS), Hussein Wafapoor, MD (Jackson, MS), Charles G. Sherwood, MD (Jackson, MS) SYNOPSIS This film will demonstrate a practical way to conduct a bimanual membrane dissection. Xenon light was connected to the Duo-Mode infusion...

Murat Oncel, MD (Istanbul, Turkey) SYNOPSIS This film demonstrates the technique of using a new microscope observation system for vitrectomy procedures that does not require the use of fiber optic illumination. Without fiber optic illumination, the surgeon is able to perform bimanuel surgery. A 40D non-contact lens provides a wide-angle viewing. ...

Giampaolo Gini, MD (Prato, Italy) SYNOPSIS Proliferative diabetic retinopathy continues to be a major cause of blindness throughout the world. Removal of fibrovascular tractions on the retina while avoiding the possibile iatrogenic damage deriving from such manouvers, requires both a good understanding of the anatomical variations involved in each specific case as well as the possibilty of using a bimanual technique. Aim of the video is to...

http://www.evrs.eu/medias/2006/videos/A-New-Microscope-with-Wide-Angle-Viewing-System-without-Endoillumination.flv Murat Oncel, MD (Istanbul, Turkey) SYNOPSIS This film demonstrates the technique of using a new microscope observation system for vitrectomy procedures that does not require the use of fiber optic illumination. Without fiber optic illumination, the surgeon is able to perform bimanuel surgery. A 40D non-contact lens provides a...

http://www.evrs.eu/medias/2006/videos/Bimanual-Surgery-as-the-Golden-Standard-in-Proliferative- Diabetic-Retinopathy.flv Giampaolo Gini, MD (Prato, Italy) SYNOPSIS Proliferative diabetic retinopathy continues to be a major cause of blindness throughout the world. Removal of fibrovascular tractions on the retina while avoiding the possibile iatrogenic damage deriving from such manouvers, requires both a good understanding of the anatomical...

http://www.evrs.eu/medias/2006/videos/Shielded-Bullet-Pick.flv Edwin H. Ryan, MD (Minneapolis, MN)* SYNOPSIS The shielded bullet pick has been available for nearly 10 years. I think it is underutilized, and feel it both saves time and improves outcomes in complex cases. This video will show some of its uses for bimanual membrane dissection. The cases include PVR, PDR, RD with macular hole, myopic macular hole, and management of dislocated...

Jan-Olof Carlsson Purpose: The advantage of bimanual vitrectomy is wellknown by vitreoretinal surgeons. The reason for using a prototype of an illuminated vitrector is an ambition to further facilitate development of this technique. The primary purpose of the study was to evaluate the capacity and consistency of this instrument as the only vitrectorprobe used, both in straightforward and complex surgery. The other purpose was to evaluate...
