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)
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the treatment of retinal redetachment after vitrectomy and silicone oil tamponade. METHODS:Investigating retrospectively on the treatment effect of 8 cases of redetachment of retina with proliferative vitreoretinopathy(PVR) in which the retinas had been attached formerly after vetrectomy and silicone oil tamponade operation.The reoperative procedures included pars plana vitrectomy,membranes peeling,retinotomy,inner exchange of the fluid and silicone oil tampnade and subretinal membranes were removed out in 2 eyes. RESULTS:Six eyes had anatomical reattachment postoperatively and another 2 eyes still had inferior shallow retinal detachment.Visual acuity was improved in 6 patients and remained unchange in 2 patients. CONCLUSIONS:The cause of recurrent retinal detachment might be the formation of the proliferative epiretinal and subretinal membranes,and vitrectomy to release the traction of proliferative membranes and full fluid silicone oil exchange should do good to reattachment. （Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,1996,12: 13-15 ）
Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of poly tetrahydrofurfuryl co-lactic acid(copolymer C4) as the biodegradable vitreous substitutes on rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.Methods Vitreoretinal surgery with copolymer C4 tamponades was performed on 32 pigmented rabbits (64eyes) with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. The rate of reattached retina and the post operative cornplications were observed.Results Three months after the operation, reattached retina was found in 96. 4%, glaucoma in 5.5%, cataract in 10.9%, and copolymer emulsion in 10.2% of all the eyes.Conclusion copolymer C4 may withstand the retinal tear effectively for 3 months, and can be a valuable vitreous substitutes.

We demonstrate 35 cases of retinal detachment in which the patients received treatment with xenogeneie (poreine)sclera as pressor material. All the patients improved with retinal replacement after initial operation. There are 5 relapsing cases in which 4 patients were reoperated and the retinas were reattaehed in 2 cases. So far the total curative percentage was 91.4 in this series. After a period of three year follow-up ,none of the patient showed apparent postoperative complication of rejection reaction,discharge,exposure and infection. These findings suggest that porcine sclera has excellent characteristic,similar to human sclera ,and may be used in ophtha[mologic surgery as a substitute of homologous(human)sclera. （Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,1994,10:207-209）
Purpose To evaluate the safety and efficacy of draining subretinal fluid with transchoroidal probing by using the traditional needling and diode endolaser probing. Methods The investigation included 70 consecutive patients(74 eyes) with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment undergoing scleral buckling surgery.Seventy cases were randomly divided into 2 groups,group A 34 cases(36 eyes)with the needle drainage procedure and group B 36 cases(38 eyes) with the diode probe respectively.The safety and efficacy were compared in between the 2 groups. Results No operative failure was found in these 2 groups.In group A,subretinal hemorrhage occurred in 3 eyes,and retinal incarceration,retinal preforation in one eye. No significant complication occurred in group B. Conclusion Diode laser drainage has the advantage in that it may reduce the incidence of operative complication with drainage.This technique might be used in any case requiring drainage of subretinal fluid especially of rhegmat ogenous retinal detachment in cases of shallow retinal detachment.
