Purpose: Traditionally acceptable methods of anesthesia for vitrectomy surgery are quite varied. However, each of these methods has its own potential for complications that can range from minor to severe. The surgery procedure of vitrectomy for symptomatic vitreous floaters is much simpler, mainly reflecting in the nonuse of sclera indentation, photocoagulation, and the apparently short surgery duration. The use of 27-gauge cannulae makes the puncture of the sclera minimally invasive. Hence, retrobulbar anesthesia, due to its rare but severe complications, seemed excessive for this kind of surgery. Method: Three cases of 27-gauge, sutureless pars plana vitrectomy for symptomatic vitreous floaters with topical anesthesia are reported. Results: The vitrectomy surgeries were successfully performed with topical anesthesia (proparacaine, 0.5%) without operative or postoperative complications. Furthermore, none of the patients experienced apparent pain during or after the surgery. Conclusion: Topical anesthesia can be considered for 27-guage vitrectomy in patients with symptomatic vitreous floaters.

To compare the progression of posterior capsule opacification (PCO) in patients who required Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy following either combined cataract surgery with pars plana vitrectomy (PPV; C-CV), sequential cataract surgery after PPV (S-CV), or cataract surgery alone (CA). The medical records of 321 patients (408 eyes) who underwent Nd:YAG capsulotomy were retrospectively evaluated. The CA group had a significantly longer time interval from cataract surgery to capsulotomy than that of both the CV group(P=0.006)and the S-CV(P=0.013)and C-CV(P=0.042)subgroups when age-matched comparisons were used. CV patients who implanted a hydrophobic acrylic IOL had shorter time intervals than those of CA patients(P=0.028). CV patients had larger hazard of earlier capsulotomy than CA patients (hazard ratio (HR) = 1.337; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.100–1.625;P=0.004). C-CV and S-CV patients both had larger hazard than CA patients in earlier capsulotomy (HR=1.304; 95%CI=1.007–1.688;P=0.044,HR=1.361; 95%  CI=1.084–1.709;P=0.008, resp.). PCO progresses more rapidly in patients undergoing combined or sequential cataract surgery and PPV than in patients undergoing CA.

Introduction: Endophthalmitis following cataract surgery is a rare but devastating ocular complication where delay in treatment not only results in vision loss but also in difficulty to save the eye ball. Objective: To explore the clinical profile and visual outcome following pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) in acute endophthalmitis after cataract surgery. Materials and methods: This is a retrospective interventional case series study conducted at Tilganga Institute of Ophthalmology (TIO), Nepal. All consecutive cases of acute endophthalmitis following cataract surgery treated with PPV from January 2005 to August 2010 were included in the study. Results: There were a total of 34 cases (34 eyes) treated with PPV. The age range was 8 - 93 years with mean age of 56.9 ± 19.5 years. The mean duration of presentation and duration following cataract surgery was 7.7 ± 8.1days and 13 ± 11.6 days respectively. Small incision cataract surgery was done in 75 % of cases followed by phacoemulsification (15.6 %). The mean duration of the last follow -up was 4.3 months. Vision was improved in two-thirds of cases (67.67 %) with a good vision of 6/18 or better in 17.6 %. Among the available vitreous samples of 22 cases, 36.36 % had an abnormality in Gram and Giemsa stains and culture was positive in 13.6 % of cases. Conclusion: Despite the late presentation, the majority of eyes were salvaged with improvement of vision in 67.67 %, with a good vision of 6/18 or better in 17.6 4 % of cases following PPV in acute post operative endophthalmitis.

Background: Endophthalmitis is one of the emergencies in ophthalmology and can cause blindness. The most common cause of endophthalmitis in intraocular surgery is cataract surgery. Immediate diagnosis and treatment can provide optimal final vision. This research aimed to describe the demographic data, and causative microorganisms, as well as the success rate of visual outcome after pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) in post-cataract surgery endophthalmitis in Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital. Methods: A retrospective descriptive study of post-cataract surgery endophthalmitis underwent vitrectomy in Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Indonesia, from January 2017 - June 2017. Results: There were twenty one cases of post-cataract surgery endophthalmitis undergoes PPV within the period of January 2017-June 2017. The most frequently identified causative microorganism was Staphylococcus (23%). There was an improvement of visual acuity after PPV procedure in 47,6% post-cataract surgery endophthalmitis. Conclusion: Immediate PPV is an effective treatment and leads to vision improvement in post-cataract surgery endophthalmitis.   Keywords: pars plana vitrectomy, endophthalmitis, cataract surgery
