title: Advancements of vitreoretinal surgical machines.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  This article reviews current advancements in vitreoretinal surgical machines.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The most recent advancement in vitreoretinal surgical machines include 27-gauge vitrectomy probes, new cutter designs, higher cut rate, improved intraocular pressure control, new endoillumination technologies, and combined anterior/posterior segment capabilities.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  With recent advancements in vitreoretinal surgical machines, surgical incisions have become less traumatic and fluidics control has led to a more controlled posterior segment vitrectomy.
