Ten years or more have passed since the current concept of 25-gauge transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy with a trocar-cannula system emerged. There is no doubt that current microincision vitrectomy surgery with 25-or23-gauge instrumentation has simplified the vitrectomy procedure and has provided numerous potential advan-tages over traditional 20-gauge surgery. The established theory regarding surgical wounds is that'much smaller is better'. Along with the development of new-generation vitrectomy machines with ergonomic instruments, sur-geons have been shifting dramatically from 20-gauge systems to 23-and 25-gauge systems over the last years.
