Outcomes of transconjuctival sutureless 27-gauge vitrectomy for stage 4 retinopathy of prematurity

Figure 1 Intraoperative picture of a left eye. The three sclerotomies 1.5 mm from the limbus are labeled as 1 (inferotemporal port), 2 (superotemporal port) and 3 (superonasal port) of the 27-gauge vitrectomy system (silicon band pieces are not shown in this representative photograph). The white arrow shows the infusion tube through which balanced salt solution flows and maintains intraocular pressure. The black arrow shows the trocar handle inserting the last superonasal port.

Figure 2 Anatomical success was achieved in all ten eyes at 4-mo follow-up. A: Preoperative picture of left eyes showing stage 4A ROP with partial retinal detachment (black arrows), and the optic disc is shown by the thin white arrow; B: Postoperative picture of the same eye showing settled retinal detachment with residual fibrous tissue (black arrows). The optic disc and fovea are shown by the white arrows, respectively.
