Combined Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery and Small-Gauge Pars Plana Vitrectomy Using Different Devices: A New Trend for Vitreoretinal Surgery?

ABSTRACT A curved spine accompanied by restricted neck motion poses a challenge for an ophthalmic surgeon, especially a vitreoretinal surgeon, who needs the patient’s eyes in a horizontal position to operate with the microscope. Literature is sparse with case reports of thoracic kyphoscoliosis for vitreoretinal surgery, although many reports are available for cataract surgery. We report a case of thoracic kyphoscoliosis and ankylosing spondylitis with dropped nucleus into the vitreous cavity following a complicated cataract surgery posted for pars plana vitrectomy, pars plana lensectomy, and phacofragmentation under general anesthesia and review the current literature of such case.

Vitrectomy Surgery

Despite improvements in vitreoretinal surgery techniques, rhegmatogenous retinal detachment is still one of the major causes of visual loss in the world. Pneumatic retinopexy (PR), scleral buckle, and pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) are the modalities that are used in the treatment of retinal detachment. Intraocular gases, which are frequently used in PR and PPV, are indispensable molecules due to their tamponade effects. In order to get favorable postoperative outcomes, the proper type of gas selection should be made by considering the properties of the gases, indications, potential complications, and findings of the patients together.
