Summary
This study is a comparison (23 gauge vs 20 gauge instrumentation) of surgical instrumentation for retinal detachment repair.
Detailed description
The majority of studies on PPV for PRD up to this time have used 20-gauge instrumentation. Currently, both 23-gauge and 20-gauge instrumentation are commercially available for PPV. No studies have reported the efficacy of 23-gauge PPV compared to 20-gauge PPV for primary pseudophakic RRD. As a result, many retinal surgeons choose the modality based on personal preference.
