Complete and Core Vitrectomies in the Treatment of Experimental Posterior Penetrating Eye Injury in the Rhesus Monkey

Complete and Core Vitrectomies in the Treatment of Experimental Posterior Penetrating Eye Injury in the Rhesus Monkey

“…The surgical details and the clinical course are described in part 1 of this report. 7 Following vitrectomy the eyes were examined at weekly intervals and were enucleated four months after vitrectomy. Immediately after enucleation a central corneal button was excised and the eyes were perfused with cold Karnovsky's fixa¬ tive for 24 hours.…”

Intraocular foreign bodies. Factors influencing final visual outcome

“…According to several reports (Ahmadieh et al 1993;De Juan et al 1984); clinical management of IOFB injuries using PPV may salvage the most severely injured eyes. Experimental studies have confirmed the effectiveness of PPV in the treatment of posterior segment trauma (Clearly & Ryan 1981;Gregor & Ryan 1983a, 1983b, especially the prevention of traction RD. In our retrospective study, magnet extraction was used for IOFB extraction when possible and initial PPV was used for non magnetic IOFB, retinal or encapsulated IOFB, or media opacities obscuring the view of posterior segment, including cases of dense vitreous haemorrhage.…”

Outcomes of pars plana vitrectomy following ocular trauma at varying surgical time points

“…Recently published findings from a cross-sectional survey of eye trauma experts found that in cases where vitrectomy was indicated, 45.5% of experts preferred vitrectomy ≥ 7 days after the repair of open globe injuries [ 12 ]. A review of the literature shows that the most favorable time to perform vitrectomy after ocular trauma varies significantly from within 3 days [ 22 ], within 4 days [ 14 , 17 , 18 ], 4–10 days [ 23 ], 8–14 days [ 20 ], and even up to 15–30 days [ 19 ] post-injury. It should be noted, however, that the inclusion and exclusion criteria also vary across studies.…”
