Objectives: To descriptively evaluate the feasibility and clinical utility of TowardPi BO (4K ultra HD microscope integrated with a 400 kHz swept-source intraoperative optical coherence tomography (SS-iOCT) system) in managing various ophthalmic surgical conditions in a real-world setting. Methods: We analyzed surgical videos and data from 123 consecutive cases that underwent elective surgery with the assistance of this SS-iOCT system at Beijing Tongren Hospital between September 2, 2025, and February 10, 2026. Surgical cases were included based on specific diagnoses for which the SS-iOCT was found to be demonstrably useful. All videos were reviewed, and the utility of iOCT was discussed. Results: A total of 72 surgical cases were included, comprising 7 intraocular lens implantations with ciliary sulcus fixation, 19 macular holes, 3 cases of macular hole retinal detachment (MHRD), 4 cases of macular schisis with or without foveal detachment (MSRD), 12 cases of submacular hemorrhage, 20 cases of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD), and 7 intraocular mass lesions. The 400 kHz SS-iOCT significantly aided in surgical visualization, guided real-time decision-making, and prompted modifications in surgical techniques. Conclusions: This study presents the first report on 400 kHz SS-iOCT application in intraocular tumors. From routine surgical teaching to complex case management, SS-iOCT enhances surgical precision and facilitates real-time decision-making, ultimately contributing to improved surgical outcomes.

Objectives: We aimed to descriptively evaluate the feasibility and clinical utility of TowardPi BO (4K ultra-HD microscope integrated with a 400 kHz swept-source intraoperative optical coherence tomography (SS-iOCT) system) in managing various ophthalmic surgical conditions in a real-world setting. Methods: We analyzed surgical videos and data from 123 consecutive cases that underwent elective surgery with the assistance of this SS-iOCT system at Beijing Tongren Hospital between 2 September 2025 and 10 February 2026. Cases were included when the iOCT provided critical, real-time information that directly influenced surgical decision-making or technique modification. Cases were excluded if iOCT served only routine confirmatory or educational purposes without altering the surgical plan. Results: A total of 72 surgical cases were included, comprising 7 intraocular lens implantations with ciliary sulcus fixation, 19 macular holes, 3 cases of macular hole retinal detachment (MHRD), 4 cases of macular schisis with or without foveal detachment (MSRD), 12 cases of submacular hemorrhage, 20 cases of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD), and 7 intraocular mass lesions. The 400 kHz SS-iOCT significantly aided in surgical visualization, guided real-time decision-making, and prompted modifications in surgical techniques. Conclusions: To our knowledge, this is the first real-world study to evaluate the application of a 400 kHz SS-iOCT system across a wide spectrum of ophthalmic conditions, including its novel use in intraocular tumors. From routine to complex surgical cases, SS-iOCT enhances surgical precision and facilitates real-time decision-making, ultimately contributing to improved surgical outcomes.
