The world's leading retinal specialists use 23 Gauge Vitrectomy in greater than 80% of total surgeries versus 20 Gauge or 25 Gauge.
Prof. Peter Stalmans, Leuven, Belgium
'At present, I perform up to 80% of my vitrectomies using the 23G transconjunctival approach, making it the new standard of vitrectomy surgery. In addition, average surgery time has decreased compared to 20G surgery. In our center, we recently conducted a retrospective study in almost 900 patients which confirmed a statistically significant better and faster postoperative recovery compared to a 20G approach.'
