Closed vitrectomy after trauma.

K V Mody, R K Blach, P K Leaver

    Transactions of the Ophthalmological Societies of the United Kingdom
    |April 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    Vitrectomy surgery improved outcomes in traumatized eyes. However, good results were limited by vitreo-retinal traction, particularly at the vitreous base.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Trauma Surgery
    • Retinal Surgery

    Background:

    • Ocular trauma frequently leads to complex pathological changes.
    • Vitrectomy is a surgical intervention used to address severe ocular trauma.
    • Understanding the impact of trauma on the vitreous and retina is crucial for surgical planning.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the outcomes of vitrectomy in eyes that sustained trauma.
    • To identify and categorize pathological changes resulting from ocular trauma.
    • To determine factors influencing the success of vitrectomy in traumatized eyes.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of fifty cases undergoing vitrectomy for ocular trauma.
    • Classification of six distinct pathological changes identified post-trauma.
    • Evaluation of anatomical and visual results following surgical intervention.

    Main Results:

    • Vitrectomy demonstrated positive anatomical and visual outcomes in the majority of cases.
    • Six types of trauma-induced pathological changes were identified.
    • The presence of surface vitreo-retinal traction, at the vitreous base or posteriorly, correlated with poorer outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • Vitrectomy is an effective treatment for many eyes with ocular trauma.
    • Vitreo-retinal traction is a significant limiting factor for successful vitrectomy outcomes in trauma.
    • Further research into managing vitreo-retinal traction in traumatized eyes is warranted.
