Trocar sleeve adapter accelerates silicone oil injection in real-world vitreoretinal surgery

Although the 23G trocar sleeve adapter was developed for SO extraction, it reduced the time required for low- and high-viscosity SO injection by three- and fivefold, respectively. The 23G trocar sleeve adapter thus has the potential to substantially shorten SO injection times in clinical practice, although randomised or crossover study designs will be required for validation.

Abstract

Although the 23G trocar sleeve adapter was developed for SO extraction, it reduced the time required for low- and high-viscosity SO injection by three- and fivefold, respectively. The 23G trocar sleeve adapter thus has the potential to substantially shorten SO injection times in clinical practice, although randomised or crossover study designs will be required for validation.
