[Vitrectomy for intraocular foreign bodies and their complications]
Abstract:
Results of vitrectomy in 16 cases are reported. In one group of 7 patients the operation immediately preceded the extraction of a non-metallic or metallic capsulated foreign body by means of foreign body forceps, or a magnetized metal thread using the one- or two-way "pars plana" approach. In the second group of 9 cases a "pars plana" vitrectomy was carried out to treat sequelae from a double perforation caused by lead shot. The Douvas roto-extractor was used in all eyes. Results obtained in the first group (combined foreign body extraction and vitrectomy) were satisfactory in all but one case, which ended with-phtisis bulbi. Visual acuities were of 0,2 or more. In the second group (reparative vitrectomy) an acceptable V.A. was obtained except in two cases. Results were less satisfactory than in the first group.
