Result Of Pars Plana Vitrectomy In Post Traumatic Endophthalmitis

Abstract

Aim: 

To evaluate visual outcomes and identify prognostic factors after pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) surgery for  traumatic endophthalmitis. 

Methods: 

Medical records of 20 patients diagnosed with traumatic endophthalmitis that had undergone pars plana  vitrectomy were retrospectively reviewed. 

Result: 

20 patients all underwent PPV surgery.50% of them obtained BCVA better than fingers counting (FC). Good  final visual prognosis was significantly associated between trauma and PPV treatment.

Conclusions: 

Good visual outcomes can be achieved for most patients who undergo vitreoretinal surgery after open globe  trauma.
