title: [The periphery of the vitrectomised eye].
abstract: The periphery of the vitrectomised eye is the site of retinal breaks in 1 to 15% of cases. These breaks must be looked for and treated to avoid retinal detachment. They are more frequent in the presence of fragile lesions in high myopia, or vitreoretinal traction. They can be related to vitreous incarceration in a sclerotomy site or with the movements of the vitrectomy probe. Traction is proportional to aspiration rate, and inversely proportional to the distance between the cutter and the vitreous base. Twenty-three- or 25-gauge transconjunctival vitrectomy seems to decrease the risk of vitreous incarceration and peripheral retinal tear.
