ABSTRACT: Purpose
To assess the incidence of iatrogenic retinal breaks (IRBs) and postoperative retinal detachments (RDs) in microincision vitrectomy surgery (MIVS) compared with 20-gauge (20?G) vitrectomy.Methods
A comprehensive literature search was performed to find relevant studies and a meta-analysis of the IRBs and postoperative RDs rates after 20?G vitrectomy versus MIVS was conducted.Results
Thirty-two studies were selected, including 14,373 eyes (6932 eyes in the 20?G group, 7441 eyes in the MIVS group). The meta-analysis demonstrated that the incidence of IRBs was significantly higher in 20?G vitrectomy vs. MIVS (OR?=?2.22, 95% CI, 1.93-2.57, P?ConclusionThis meta-analysis demonstrated that MIVS is associated with a lower risk of IRBs and postoperative RDs compared to 20?G vitrectomy.
