To study the incidence of endophthalmitis after 23-gauge pars plana vitrectomy and to compare it with the endophthalmitis rate after 20-gauge pars plana vitrectomy performed in the same ophthalmology department.
The charts of 4,021 consecutive 20-gauge or 23-gauge pars plana vitrectomies performed at a single institution, between August 1 2003 and April 1 2008, were reviewed to search for the occurrence of postoperative endophthalmitis. This is a retrospective, interventional, comparative cohort study.
Endophthalmitis developed in one of 3,078 eyes after 20-gauge vitrectomy (0.03%) and in none of 943 eyes after 23-gauge vitrectomy.
We did not find an increased risk of endophthalmitis after 23-gauge sutureless vitrectomy.
研究23G经平坦部玻璃体切除术术后眼内炎的发生率，并与同一眼科科室进行的20G经平坦部玻璃体切除术术后眼内炎发生率进行比较。
回顾了2003年8月1日至2008年4月1日在单一机构连续进行的4021例20G或23G经平坦部玻璃体切除术的病历，以查找术后眼内炎的发生情况。这是一项回顾性、干预性、比较性队列研究。
20G玻璃体切除术后3078只眼中有1只发生眼内炎（0.03%），23G玻璃体切除术后943只眼中无一发生眼内炎。
我们未发现23G无缝线玻璃体切除术后眼内炎风险增加。
