Application of a modified pars plana lensectomy within traumatic eyes

Abstract:

AIM: To investigate a surgical method of modified lensectomy within combined lensectomy and vitrectomy surgery in traumatic eyes. · METHODS: Clinical records were studied retrospectively for a series of consecutive 27 traumatic patients who were performed vitrectomy combined with lensectomy surgery. A modified lensectomy through pars plana incision of sclera was performed to these cases and lens capsule was reserved. It was then combined with vitreous and retinal operations. · RESULTS: All lens were removed completely with lens capsule remained. All cases achieved improved visual acuity. Intraocular pressure (IOP) in all eyes was in normal range after surgery. · CONCLUSION: The modified lensectomy is a safe and effective surgery manner which has few complications and is more suitable for traumatic eyes in the combined lensectomy and vitrectomy surgery.
