title: Machines and cutters: VersaVIT - potential and perspectives of office-based vitrectomy.
abstract: The concept of office-based vitrectomy has been a topic for several years; however, the large size of the vitrectomy machines has limited the options for many years. Today, though, smaller machines can offer adequate performance regarding vitrectomy. As a result, we can now make more arguments for this type of surgery to be performed in the office environment, despite the limitations these machines may still have.
