Diathermy for 23-gauge sclerotomy: a functional and morphologic study to avoid ocular hypotony.PURPOSE
 To evaluate diathermy to minimize sclerotomy leakage during small-gauge vitrectomy and prevent ocular hypotony.


 This observational prospective study included 327 patients (327 eyes) who underwent diathermy to close the sclerotomy sites during 23-gauge pars plana vitrectomy (PPV).  Diathermy was safe and feasible to close sclerotomies.
