Macular infarction after 23-gauge transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy and subconjunctival gentamicin for macular pucker: a case report.

摘要

Pars plana vitrectomy has undergone significant evolution in the past several years. Self-sealing sclerotomies with smaller-gauge instruments were first described in 1996.The rationale was to create a small-incision wound with possible advantages such as less inflammation, shorter surgery time, and better patient comfort. Macular infarction after intravitreal injection of gentamicin is a well-known drug side effect. In this report, we present a case of macular infarction that occurred after transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy (TSV) and prophylactic subconjunc-tival gentamicin.
