Objective To summarize the visual outcome of patients with severe ocular trauma treated with vitreous surgery. Methods Clinical data of 188(191 eyes) with severe ocular trauma treated with vitreous surgery in a period from November 1996 to April 1998 were analysed retrospectively. Results The study included penetrating injury in 56 eyes, foreign bodies in the posterior segment in 70 eyes, blunt injury in 41 eyes , and globe rupture in 24 eyes. Main complications included endophthalmitis in 35 eyes, choroidal bleeding in 20 eyes, retinal detachment in 60 eyes, and vitreous hemorrhage in 97 eyes. Post-opera-tively, out of 188 eyes, except for 3 of patients too young to examine, visual acuity improved in 133(70.7%), including 85(45.2%) with visal acuity 0.02-1.0, 46(24.5%) remained unchanged; and 9(4.8%) had worse vision. Among 34 with no-light-perception, 12 had light-perception or over. Conclusion A majority of severe trauma eyes can be salvaged with considerable visual recovery after adequate and timely vitreous surgery. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,1999,15:4-6)
Seventen eyeswith complicated retinal detachment were repaired with vitrectomy,retinotomy,retinectomy or retinal suture combined with gas/fluid exchange,scleral buckle and cryotherapy.These cases include giant retinal tear with inverted retinal flap(6 eyes),severe traumatic retinal detachment(4 eyes),proliferative diabetic retinopathy(2 eyes),recurrent retinal detachmeng(3 eyes)and anterior proliferative vitreoretinopathy(2 eyes).The duration of follow up in 16 eyes was from 3 to 42 months.The retinal reattachment was in 10 eyes(62.5%),and visual acuity better than0.05 in 8 eyes(50.0%).Four eyes(25.0%)resulted in hypotony. （Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,1996,12:7-9）
Objective To investigate the technique of drain-air, cryotherapy, and explant (DACE) of operation for superior bullous retinal detachment (SBRD).Methods In the DACE procedure, drainage and air or balanced salt soultion (BSS) injection were carried out first, with the intention of flattening the retina before localization of retinal hole, cryotherapy out of choroid and scleral buckling.Results In 42 SBRD eyes, 40 underwent the operation with DACE technique. In 23 eyes injected with BSS instead of air, 5 should be injected air due to no avail for flattening deeply retinal detachment, and 1 needed scleral buckling due to new retinal tear after DACE procedure two weeks. During the follow-up, all retinae attached. Conclusions The DACE technique is very useful and effective in upper ballooned retinal detachment due to single hole or breaks localized in small area between the 10 and 2 o′clock meridiant. BSS instead of air injection can eliminate the difficulty of observation of retinal breaks from the presence of air in some cases. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis，2003，19：11-13)
PURPOSE:To investigate the cause and treatment of iatrogenic retinal breaks(lRB)in microvitreoretinal surgery. METHODS:The causes and treatments of 40 iatrogenie retinal breaks of 24 cases in micro-vitreoretinal surgery from July1994 to March 1996 in our department were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS:40 IRB were found in 24 eyes,among them there were 16 eyes of proliferative vitreoretinopathy(PVR),5 eyes of taumatic PVR and 3 eyes of tractional retinal detachment, The treatments of IRB included scleral cryotherapy ,silicone band buckling,endodiathermy,intraocular tamponade and postoperative argon laser. The IRB of inferior retina and posterior Io scleral buckling acounded for 70% and 92% respectively. The total retinal and macular attachment were 17 eyes and the visual acuity of 19 eyes improved to 0.02 or better during the mean follow up periods of 5 months. CONCLUSION:The IRB is a severe complication in micro-vitrecretinal surgery and has to be obliterated either intraoperatively or postoperatively. （Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,1997,13: 19-21 ）
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and its affecting factors of silicone oil as an introocular tamponade for copmlicated retinal detachments in children(le;14 years). Methods We analysed retrospectively 34 cases(36 eyes) of complicated retinal detachments in children, who were performed with pars plana vitrectomy combined with silicone oil tamponade from June 1993 to November 1997. Results After 3-21 months of follow-up, the detached retinas in 19 eyes(52.7%) were reattached, in 10 eyes(27.8%) partially reattached and in 6 eyes (16.7%) redetached, 1 eye(2.8) had a media opacity that precluded evaluation of the retina. Postoperative visual acuity was less than 0.05 in 12 eyes(33.3%), and 0.05-0.2 in 20 eyes(55.6%), 2 cases(4 eyes) could not tell their visions(11.1%). Conclusion Silicone oil tamponade is an effctive therapy for complicated retinal detachments in children. The major cause of surgical fai;ure was development of recurrent proliferative vetrioretinopathy. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,1999,15:7-8)
