Vitrectomy for double penetrating ocular injuries.

R C Ramsay, H L Cantrill, W H Knobloch

    American Journal of Ophthalmology
    |October 15, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study on double penetrating ocular injuries found that vitrectomy surgery can stabilize eyes and prevent retinal detachment. Surgical success depended on initial vision, vitreous hemorrhage, and complete vitreous excision.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Trauma Surgery
    • Retinal Diseases

    Background:

    • Double penetrating ocular injuries are severe and can lead to vision loss.
    • Prompt and effective surgical intervention is crucial for managing these injuries.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the outcomes of treating double penetrating ocular injuries.
    • To identify factors influencing surgical success in these cases.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 15 consecutive patients with double penetrating ocular injuries treated between 1977 and 1982.
    • Use of vitrectomy techniques to stabilize eyes and manage retinal detachment.
    • Assessment of anatomic and visual success.

    Main Results:

    • Vitrectomy was performed on 18 eyes, with one enucleation.
    • Anatomic success was achieved in 11 eyes and visual success (20/200 or better) in ten eyes.
    • Surgical success correlated with initial visual acuity, vitreous hemorrhage extent, and complete vitreous excision at the exit wound.

    Conclusions:

    • Vitrectomy is an effective technique for managing double penetrating ocular injuries.
    • Factors such as initial visual acuity, vitreous hemorrhage, and surgical technique significantly impact outcomes.
