Anterior vitrectomy for complications of cataract extraction.
Our results of anterior vitrectomy in 12 patients with vitreo-corneal touch following cataract extraction, and in three patients with ghost-cell glaucoma due to vitreous hemorrhage were reported. The Machemer vitreous infusion suction cutter was used for pars plana and trans-corneal approaches. Anterior vitrectomy was effective in treating both disorders.
