We found that endoscopy facilitated the management of these complications of cataract surgery once the peculiar difficulties of the technique (absence of stereoscopy, manipulation of the endoprobe, video monitor control) were mastered. Endoscopy facilitated and shortened localization of lens fragments embedded into the vitreous base for aspiration, grasping and phakoemulsification, enabled detection of small anterior retinal breaks, permitted resection of adhesions between anterior hyaloid, lens capsule and ciliary sulcus and facilitated PFCL manipulations, whatever the status of the anterior segment (corneal edema, myosis, synechiae, presence of IOL).
