BACKGROUND/AIMS: To evaluate the incidence of intraoperative @entity937 in the ultrahigh-speed (UHS) 25-gauge vitrectomy system in elective vitreous-retina surgery cases. METHODS: A prospective series of 1676 eyes of 1306 consecutive @entity1 . All eyes underwent an UHS 25-gauge transconjunctival sutureless pars plana vitrectomy for elective cases such as @entity6654 (586 cases), floaters (153), macular hole (385), vitreous @entity1020 (119), dropped nucleus or intraocular lens (84) and @entity548 (82). @entity1 were followed up for a minimum of 6   months. RESULTS: There were 1409 eyes involved in this study. @entity937 were found in 25 eyes (1.8%) during surgery. The majority were detected in cases where @entity20699 was induced during surgery (21 eyes; 2.8% of the @entity1 ), and in only four eyes (0.6%) with an already detached vitreous. In nine cases, @entity1713 developed during the follow-up. @entity1 who showed intraoperative @entity937 were not in this group. Other complications during the follow-up included two cases of @entity548 (0.1%), two cases of @entity2790 (0.1%), and 23 eyes with @entity8814 without any further complications. CONCLUSIONS: UHS 25-gauge transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy is a safe procedure for treatment of elective vitreous-retina cases. The risk of developing iatrogenic breaks seems to be correlated with adhesion of the posterior vitreous hyaloid. Other complications, such as @entity1713 or @entity8814 , were similar to previous reports. No correlation was found between iatrogenic retina breaks and other complications.
