A Simple Method for Removal of Particles from the Retinal Surface during Vitrectomy

J Ophthalmic Vis Res. 2014 Apr;9(2):285-6.

Abstract

Removal of particulate materials from the retinal surface is somewhat difficult during small gauge vitrectomy. Simple injection of balanced salt solution into the vitreous cavity in a controlled manner using a connector tubing between the syringe and needle can produce enough turbulence to float the deposited material and remove it.
