<p>Characteristics of contaminated cases.</p>

Ninety-six eyes from 86 immunocompetent patients who underwent 25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy from December 2023 to February 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. The data evaluates the incidence of surgical instrument contamination, which was detected in 7 cases (7.3%). The dataset was authored by Fumiya Miyako and is shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Assessing the association between preoperative antibacterial eye drops and bacterial contamination risk based on the described results.
• Analyzing contamination rates for specific surgical instruments like the trocar, endoilluminator, and beveled probe as mentioned in the description.
• Studying postoperative outcomes such as endophthalmitis incidence during a 2-month follow-up period as reported.
• Modeling contamination risk factors in 25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy procedures based on the described patient cohort and methods.

Strengths

• Data covers 96 eyes from 86 patients, providing a specific cohort size.
• Includes a clear temporal range from December 2023 to February 2024.
• Reports a quantified contamination incidence of 7 cases (7.3%).
• Results mention specific contaminated instruments: trocar, endoilluminator, and beveled probe.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data is from a single institution, which may limit generalizability.
