Treatment of posterior eye segment complications after perforating trauma.
168 perforating trauma cases that underwent vitreoretinal surgery in our hospital over a two year period were reviewed. A uniform surgical concept was applied in those severely injured eyes. Showing posterior eye segment complications that required vitreoretinal surgery and having at least light perception were the only two criteria to be eligible for this study. The anatomic and functional results in different trauma groups are discussed as well as indications and duration of silicone oil tamponade.
