Özet
AIM: To describe the results of vitrectomy and partial capsulectomy via anterior approach surgical technique in treatment of chronic postoperative endophthalmitis (CPE). METHODS: Clinical records of 9 patients treated for CPE between 2006 and 2010 were reviewed retrospectively. All of these patients were treated with vitrectomy and partial capsulectomy via anterior approach. RESULTS: Six of 9 patients were male. The average patients' age was (60 +/- 8.1) years. The average period between cataract extraction and onset of signs and symptoms was (3.6 +/- 1.3) weeks. The average presenting visual acuity was 0.3 +/- 0.1 and the average final post operative visual acuity was 0.7 +/- 0.2. The mean follow-up period was (28.1 +/- 8.9) weeks. In all patients, the inflammation subsided after surgery. CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that anterior vitrectomy and partial capsulectomy via anterior approach may be considered as potentially useful and relatively less invasive technique to treat CPE.
