    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Procedures

    Background:

    • Pars plana vitrectomy is a surgical technique used to treat various eye conditions.
    • The early outcomes of this procedure require thorough evaluation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report the initial results of 127 pars plana vitrectomies.
    • To assess the success rates and complications of the procedure for different indications.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective review of 127 pars plana vitrectomies performed on 120 patients.
    • Analysis of outcomes based on the segment of the eye affected (anterior vs. posterior).

    Main Results:

    • The overall success rate was variable, with 45% for anterior segment disorders and 34% for posterior segment disorders.

  • A significant complication rate was observed, with 10% of eyes (12 eyes) losing light perception.

    • Conclusions:

    • Pars plana vitrectomy has a mixed efficacy profile.
    • The procedure carries substantial risks, necessitating careful patient selection and further investigation into improving outcomes.
