In-office vitreoretinal surgery may be routine in future

VIENNA — The latest advances in small-gauge vitreoretinal surgery have encouraged U.S. surgeons to move many of their procedures to ASCs.“There are currently 5,500 ASCs in the U.S. doing 25 million surgeries. We feel comfortable with it, except for cases with systemic comorbidities and those who need general anesthesia,” Dante J. Pieramici, MD, said at the Advanced Retinal Therapy meeting.
