[Indications for pars plana vitrectomy after perforating injuries (author's transl)]. 1978

K Heimann, and H Paulmann, and U Tavakolian

A preliminary report is given on 100 consecutive cases of pars plana vitrectomy after perforating injuries due to nonmagnetic IOFB (9 cases), magnetic IOFB (32 cases) and lacerating injuries (19 cases). Pars plana vitrectomy was performed to remove persistent vitreous membranes, to prevent proliferative transformation with following retinal detachment or to make the IOFB become visible for extraction. These eyes were practically amaurotic but in 43 cases out of 100 a positive results could be achieved (i.e. the retina being attached, posterior pole becoming visible). Indications, technique and complications of both pars plana vitrectomy and FB extraction are discussed. As a result pars plana vitrectomy should be performed within an interval of at least 2 weeks after the first intervention (i.e. wound closure of FB extraction).

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D011183	Postoperative Complications	Pathologic processes that affect patients after a surgical procedure. They may or may not be related to the disease for which the surgery was done, and they may or may not be direct results of the surgery.

D012163	Retinal Detachment	Separation of the inner layers of the retina (neural retina) from the pigment epithelium. Retinal detachment occurs more commonly in men than in women, in eyes with degenerative myopia, in aging and in aphakia. It may occur after an uncomplicated cataract extraction, but it is seen more often if vitreous humor has been lost during surgery.
