Summary: The 23-gauge Intrector allows the performance of a limited core pars plana vitrectomy, which removes 0.5 to 1 ml of the vitreous body. Drugs, and/or air or gas can be injected into the space created. This opens new opportunities for the treatment of macular oedema associated with wet AMD, diabetes, or branch/central retinal vein occlusion. Neurofilaments can be measured from the vitreous body obtained: these are considered a useful new biomarker of retinal degeneration. Furthermore, the material obtained can be used to perform bacterial or cytological analysis of the uveitis.
Słowa kluczowe: intrektor, obrzęk plamki, korowa witrektomia pars plana.
