Abstract

Early post vitrectomy complications such as post operative vitreous cavity hemorrhage,endophthalmitis reactivation and post operative retinal breaks with detachment are quite common. Fluid air/gas exchange in the OPD is a very easy and effective technique to tackle above complications. Under aseptic precautions passing a 26G needle to half its length into vitreous cavity followed immediately with another 26G needle mounted on a 5 cc syringe loaded with air/gas. It is an easy ,cost effective, less time consuming, minimally invasive OPD procedure and has good outcome as vitreous lavage. The video will show the procedure in detail with its technique.
