Re: The vitreous trap: a simple, surgeon-controlled technique for obtaining undiluted vitreous and subretinal specimens during pars plana vitrectomy.

摘要

Dr Mallinowski recently highlighted the importance of obtaining undiluted vitreous in a controlled way. The technique describes the essential elements of what we detailed in our letter in Retina in 2003. More recently, we reported in 2009 at the European Vitreo-Retinal Society meeting an update on our experience based on 50 cases, which supported the usefulness and safety of this technique, I believe it would have been appropriate for the author to acknowledge the original descriptors.
