Expert Case Presentations on Vitreoretinal Surgical Techniques
If you want to become a master in managing daily surgical retinal cases, this is an exclusive opportunity to learn from leading surgical retina specialists from around the globe. Witness live case presentations and discussions on non-complex RRD, VMT, dropped nucleus, and diabetic vitreous hemorrhage.
The Surgical Retina session features expert case presentations covering four key areas of vitreoretinal surgery. Each case is presented by a world-renowned specialist, followed by a panel discussion with all speakers.
Four expert surgical case presentations covering common vitreoretinal challenges, followed by a panel discussion.
Surgical decision-making in VMT: when vision for distance is less than 6/24 and near less than N.10, with OCT showing absent foveal depression, intraretinal cysts, and outer retinal schises — practical viability is key.
Thorough retinal examination before surgical intervention — identifying the offending break, assessing posterior vitreous status, and checking for PVR. Consultation on available procedures for optimal results.
Managing dropped nucleus at the moment of cataract complication or 1–2 weeks later. Use cutter for soft lens, cortex, and small fragments; fragmatome for dense lens, big fragments, and fibrotic material.
Pre-operative anti-VEGF injection 72 hours prior to surgery, triamcinolone for posterior hyaloid removal, bimanual surgery for combined tractional RD, and ILM peeling to reduce recurrent membranes.

Key takeaways from each case presentation:
If the vision for distance is less than 6/24 and near less than N.10, with OCT scans suggestive of absent foveal depression, intraretinal cysts, and outer retinal schises — patient preference and practical viability are very important in cases of VMT where surgery is planned.
It is crucial to conduct a thorough retinal examination before proceeding with any surgical intervention, focusing on identifying the offending break, assessing posterior vitreous status, and checking for PVR. B-scan and OCT aid surgical planning. Inducing PVD, releasing traction, and shaving the vitreous base are all crucial steps during surgery.
Dropped nucleus can be tackled at the moment of the cataract complication or in 1–2 weeks. Use cutter for soft lens, cortex, and small fragments; fragmatome for dense lens, big fragments, and fibrotic material. Protect the macula and nerve with heavy liquid and perform scleral indentation at the end of surgery.
These case presentations are designed for professional education among ophthalmologists. The discussions represent expert opinions and surgical techniques and are intended for educational purposes only. All clinical decisions must be made by qualified specialists based on individual patient assessment and established treatment guidelines.
