Data from Tongji University Update Knowledge in Anterior Vitrectomy (Posterior capsular radial sign: a novel method to confirm anterior vitreous cortex resection in phacovitrectomy).

A study conducted at Tongji University introduces a novel method for confirming the resection of the anterior vitreous cortex in phacovitrectomy. The study involved 51 patients and compared the experimental group, which used the new method, with a control group that used traditional surgery. The results showed that the new method, which involved locating the posterior capsule of the lens using thread-like corrugation, was safe and effective, with similar surgical outcomes to traditional surgery. This method may be particularly useful for beginners in vitreous surgery. [Extracted from the article]
