Microsurgical Scleral Buckling with OFFISS
http://www.evrs.eu/medias/2008/congress/Microsurgical-Scleral-Buckling-with-OFFISS.flv Jerzy Nawrocki, Zofia Nawrocka, Zofia Michalewska, Janusz Michalewski Advantages: OFFISS was developed to improve quality of vitrectomy by bimanual vitrectomy without endoillumination. Since the system is combination of indirect ophthalmoscopy and microscope it was used for microsurgical scleral buckling. It does not require to change the surgical concept...

Virgilio Morales-Canton, MD (Mexico City, Mexico) SYNOPSIS Vitrectomy techniques have evolved greatly during the last decade thanks to improvements in technology. Wide-angle visualization, and better instrumentation offers better surgical outcomes. This video describes important considerations during surgery that facilitates the maneuvers giving better results, and that’s why can be considered “a reference for the rest of...

Jerzy Nawrocki, MD (Lodz, Poland), Zofia Nawrocka, MD (Lodz, Poland), Janusz Michalewski, MD (Lodz, Poland), Zofia Michalewska, (Lodz, Poland) SYNOPSIS This video presents BIOM, OFFISS and horizontal slit illumination used for peripheral vitrectomy. The use of three different systems of illumination and observation during vitrectomy, allows to achieve more adequate viewing. This may improve completeness of peripheral vitrectomy. New...

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. ...
