Description
Purpose To compare endophthalmitis rates after 20-gauge versus 23-gauge versus 25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) in 2007–2008, and compare the rates with those of 2005–2006. Methods Multicenter study including all patients who developed endophthalmitis following PPV performed by any of the authors during 2005–2008, and all patients who developed endophthalmitis following PPV at Penn State College of Medicine and Bascom Palmer Eye Institute during 2005– 2008. The endophthalmitis rates after 20-gauge, 23-gauge and 25-gauge PPV during 2007–2008 were compared to those from 2005–2006. Results The endophthalmitis incidence during 2007–2008 was 1/4,403 (0.02%) for 20-gauge PPV, 1/3,362 (0.03%) for 23-gauge PPV, and 1/789 (0.13%) for 25-gauge PPV. There is no significant difference among these rates between any two of the three groups. Compared with the endophthalmitis rates among the same group of surgeons during 2005–2006, the 2007–2008 endophthalmitis rates
