Total hyphema evacuation by vitrectomy instrumentation. 1981

K R Diddie, and S Dinsmore, and A L Murphree

We describe our technique for the surgical removal of hyphema using the Ocutome vitrectomy system and report the results in 12 patients. Blood was removed successfully with just one operation in all 12 eyes. Eleven of the 12 eyes maintained intraocular tension of less than 20 mm Hg. Vision improved in 11 of 12 eyes and six had a vision of 6/18 or better. Permanent vision loss could not be attributed to the operative technique.
