Table 2.

Mean duration of core vitrectomy operating time for 27-gauge and 25-gauge surgeries utilizing either a standard single-cut or a TDC vitrectome.

Parameter	25-gauge vitrectomy		27-gauge vitrectomy
	Standard vitrectome (n = 20)	TDC vitrectome (n = 20)	Standard vitrectome (n = 20)	TDC vitrectome (n = 20)
Mean core vitrectomy duration (SD), in seconds	148.19 (25.14)	73.80 (18.61)	242.71 (25.52)	159.71 (29.47)
p value: significance of comparison between core vitrectomy durations performed using a standard and a two-dimensional cutting (TDC) vitrectome (t-test)	p < 0.001		p < 0.001

Mean duration of core vitrectomy operating time for 27-gauge and 25-gauge surgeries utilizing either a standard single-cut or a TDC vitrectome is shown above, demonstrating significantly shorter case duration for TDC vitrectomy surgery groups (n = 80, 20 eyes assigned, resp., to each surgery group).
