Aim: To describe a novel technique for sutureless hermetic closure of leaking scleral wounds in micro-incision vitreous surgery. Methods: This study is a two-centre, non-comparative, interventional case series. We studied 1240 scleral incisions on 870 eyes using different gauges (20, 23, 25) to evaluate the effectiveness of a new technique to seal scleral wounds without sutures. If wounds were found leaking after removing the trocar, we used the same trocar (or microvitreoretinal) blade to make an adjacent trans-scleral entry in the same direction as the main incision to access its internal flap supporting it from inside. Simultaneously, we applied a blunt smooth-surface instrument to massage the scleral wound from outside to close it hermetically. We treated 870 eyes using three types of tamponading agents, namely, silicone oil in 654 (75%) eyes, non-expansible gas in 128 (15%) eyes, and air in 88 (10%) eyes. We performed optical coherence tomography in the first 100 sclerotomies on the post-operative Day 1. Results: We closed leaking incisions at the first attempt in 1231 (99.3%) cases; in 9 (0.7%) cases of 20-gauge incisions, we closed the wounds at the second attempt. We observed no hypotony at the end of surgery. The mean intraocular pressure was 16 mmHg (8–51 mmHg) on the post-operative Day 1. Conclusion: Our results show the biplanar closure technique may be used as an effective, quick, sutureless approach to close leaking wounds hermetically in micro-incision vitreous surgery procedures. It is safe, less traumatic, cost-effective, and easy-to-perform typical surgical settings.
