Abstract

operating microscope, vitrectomy machine, and foot pedals, we recommend the operating team including the scrub nurse perform a dry run before the actual procedure.The modified approach as suggested by the authors is frequently performed by most ROP surgeons, where in one or two ports are moved away from their traditional positions to avoid areas of lifted retina. 3,4 We have also performed ROP surgery with the technique mentioned by Shah et al for many years but always experienced difficulty in manipulation due to the endoilluminator and vitreous cutter being close to each other. However, what we have tried to describe is a standardized approach wherein all the three sclerotomies are placed on the nasal side with central placement of the infusion cannula and the surgeon has the endoilluminator and vitreous cutter far away for easy manipulation of instruments during surgery. 2 We hope more surgeons will try the same for the benefit of infants with stage 4B ROP.

Insights into Novel Choroidal and Retinal Clinical Signs in Neurofibromatosis Type 1

“…This may be explained by the higher average age of the study participants in the study of Parrozzani et al [63] compared to Touzé et al [60] (mean age: 17.8 years vs. 8.8 years). These observations suggest that changes in the RVAs may have developmental features in children, with a tendency to stabilise in the more advanced age [64].…”
