Re: Reddy et  al.: Vitrectomy and vitrector port needle biopsy of choroidal melanoma for gene expression profile testing immediately before brachytherapy. (Ophthalmology. 2017;124:1377-1382)

We read with interest the article by Reddy et  al,1 which advocates combined 25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy, transvitrectomy port fine-needle aspiration biopsy of choroidal melanoma with subsequent endolaser photocoagulation and suturing of the sclerotomies to prevent scleral tumor seeding.
