We describe a technique for combined cataract and vitreoretinal surgery using a 25-gauge transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy system. This technique was successfully performed in 20 consecutive cases. Outcomes were assessed in terms of visual acuity, intraocular pressure, postoperative refractive error, and incidence of complications. The technical feasibility, rationale, and advantages and disadvantages of this technique are discussed.
