Novel Use of ReSure Ophthalmic Sealant After 23-Gauge Pars Plana Vitrectomy

The ReSure Ophthalmic Sealant was recently FDA approved for sealing clear corneal incisions after cataract surgery. It is a nontoxic synthetic polyethylene glycol hyrdogel that sloughs off the ocular surface after 1-3 days. Although it has not been FDA approved for vitrectomy cases, there are potential applications for sealing sclerotomy incisions specifically for patients with thin sclera or those who need repeat vitrectomies.
