Purpose: To determine the visual outcomes in patients undergoing pars plana-vitrectomy (PPV) for acute postoperative endophthalmitis after cataract surgery.Study Design: Quasi experimental study.Place and Duration of Study: Al- Ibrahim Eye Hospital, Malir, Karachi for a period of 2 years.Material and Methods: Thirty-three patients were selected using non-probability convenient sampling technique.Patients with acute postoperative endophthalmitis after cataract surgery diagnosed clinically and on B-scan, withvisual acuity of only perception of light were included while patients with better visual acuity and any other typesof endophthalmitis were excluded. PPV was performed in all cases and the patients were examined postoperativelyon 1st day, 3rd day, 1, 2 and 3 weeks after surgery. During these follow ups, visual acuity wasrecorded, detailed slit lamp and fundus examination was performed. Using SPSS version 20.0, chi-square testwas applied to test for significance keeping p-value of < 0.05 as significant.Results: Out of 33 patients 19 (57.6%) were males and 14 (42.4%) were females. Mean age of the patients was54.50 ± 14.14 years. On 1st post-operative day 8 patients (24.2%) showed improvement of visual acuity fromperception of light to finger counting while 02 (6.1%) patients reported visual acuity of 6/60. On final visit at 3rdweek postoperatively, 19 patients (57.6%) had visual acuity of finger counting, 08 patients (24.2%) had handmovement and 06 (18.2%) patients reported a visual acuity of 6/60.Conclusion: PPV for acute post-cataract endophthalmitis results in favourable outcomes in terms of visual acuity.

Introduction: Endophthalmitis is an inflammation of the intraocular tissues and fluid, and an emergency in ophthalmology. One of the most common causes of endophthalmitis is post-traumatic endophthalmitis. Post-traumatic endophthalmitis has a poorer prognosis than post-cataract surgery endophthalmitis. The immediate pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) surgery in post-traumatic endophthalmitis is beneficial for optimizing of final visual. Methods: A retrospective descriptive study of post-traumatic endophthalmitis patients underwent pars plana vitrectomy in the Ciptomangunkusumo Hospital, Indonesia from January 2017 – June 2017. Result: There were twelve cases of post-traumatic endophthalmitis undergoes pars plana vitrectomy within the period of January 2017-June 2017. The most frequently identified causative organism was Staphylococcus (33,3%). There was an improvement of final visual acuity after the procedure of pars plana vitrectomy in 58.3% post-traumatic endophthalmitis patients. Conclusion: Early PPV leads to vision improvement and maintains visual acuity in post-traumatic endophthalmitis. Keywords: Pars Plana Vitrectomy, Endophthalmitis, Post-traumatic

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.

Abstract Background To evaluate the rate, risk factors, functional outcome and prognosis in eyes with retinal detachment after post-operative endophthalmitis treated with 23G Pars Plana Vitrectomy. Methods Electronic patient files from 2009 until 2018 were screened for the presence of an endophthalmitis. Included were 116 eyes of 116 patients. This population was evaluated for the rate of retinal detachment after 23G Pars Plana Vitrectomy for endophthalmitis following cataract surgery or intravitreal injection. The main outcome measures were retinal detachment and visual acuity. Results The reasons for endophthalmitis were previous cataract surgery in 78 patients and following intravitreal injection in 38 patients. The first clinical evidence of endophthalmitis was present in median 5 days after the triggering intervention. Twenty-five eyes (21.55%) developed a retinal detachment an average of 25 days after endophthalmitis. RD is significantly associated with preoperative visual acuity (p = 0.001). Conclusions We emphasize the prognostic role of preoperative visual acuity in RD development of the endophthalmitis treated with 23G Pars Plana Vitrectomy.

Abstract Background: The incidence of nucleus drop or intraocular lens (IOL) drop as the complication of phacoemulsification increases due to the increased frequency of phacoemulsification. Pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) followed by endofragmentation and secondary IOL implantation is the choice of procedure for management. This study aims to determine the frequency, outcomes, and complication of PPV in the case of nucleus drop or IOL drop in the Department of Ophthalmology, Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Indonesia – Rumah Sakit Cipto Mangunkusumo (FKUI-RSCM) Methods: This study is a retrospective descriptive study conducted in the Vitreoretinal Division of the Department of Ophthalmology, FKUI - RSCM. Research data was taken from the medical records of all nucleus drop or IOL drop patients underwent PPV in January 2017-December 2017. Results: There were 19 cases studied. The incidence of nucleus drop occurred in phacoemulsification surgery techniques (94.7%) and ECCE techniques (5.3%). Vitrectomy surgery was performed ≤2 weeks in 31.6% and >2 weeks in 68.4% after the patient first arrived at the vitreoretinal clinic. Most pre-PPV visual acuity was 1/60-6/60 (47.1%). In the final follow-up, visual acuity improved from 6/45 to 6/6 occurred in 42.2% of cases. Complication after PPV and secondary IOL implantation include elevated IOP (10.5%), IOL decentration (5.3%), corneal decompensation (5.3%), macular edema (5.3%), and retinal detachment (5.3%). Conclusion: Nucleus drop or IOL drop generally occurs in phacoemulsification cataract surgery techniques. Improved visual acuity was achieved after PPV and secondary IOL implantation at the end of the follow-up period. Most common post-PPV complication is elevated IOP.

Purpose: To describe a case with an unusual presentation of Propionibacterium acnes ( P acnes) with ultimately a good visual outcome. Methods: A case report with review of approaches to P acnes endophthalmitis. Results: We describe a patient with an unusual presentation of P acnes of panuveitis with white, circular preretinal lesions without intracapsular deposits. Diagnosis was made from cultures from pars plana vitrectomy. Eventually, she was definitively managed with capsulectomy, repositioning of her intraocular lens via sutureless intrascleral fixation, and intravitreal vancomycin injection. Conclusion: This is a report of P acnes endophthalmitis presenting with discrete preretinal lesions where surgical and medical management lead to a complete resolution of uveitis and symptoms after a 3-year follow up where the patient’s final visual acuity was Snellen 20/20 OU.

Introduction: Vitreous hemorrhage is the presence of blood in the vitreous cavity. This condition could impair the visual function and hindered the clinician’s ability to examine the posterior segment of the eye.  Pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) not only act as a surgical treatment of choice but also diagnostic procedure. Immediate PPV has the advantage to optimalize visual acuity Methods: Retrospective descriptive study of vitreous hemorrhage patients underwent pars plana vitrectomy in Ciptomangunkusumo Hospital, Indonesia from January to December 2018 Result: There were 160 cases of vitreous hemorrhage cases undergoes pars plana vitrectomy in 2018. Most frequent etiology was proliferative diabetic retinopathy (49.4%). Rebleeding was found only in 8 cases within the period of three months follow up. Final visual acuity was improved in majority of the cases and found to be related to timing of the surgery. Conclusion: Early vitrectomy along with systemic control of underlying factors lead to improvement of visual acuity in vitreous hemorrhage.

Introduction: Posterior segment retained Intraocular foreign body (IOFB) management is challenging. Facility of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and availability of well trained vitreo retina surgeons are the basic need to accomplish this work.  Encircling band provide permanent 360° support to close the anterior retinal break and prevent traction on the retina. The objective of this study is to analyse the clinical characteristics and predictors of the final visual outcome and survival of the globe in cases of retained IOFB in the posterior eye segment. Materials and methods: A hospital based retrospective observational study was conducted. All the patients of retained IOFB in the posterior segment presented from January 2016 to June 2019 were enrolled. Patients presented with visual acuity of NPL were excluded. Statistical analysis was performed using a variety of tests using SPSS version 21.   Results: Forty eyes of 40 patients were included. The mean age was 27.08±10.68 years (range 5-66). 95% of our patients were male. Most of them (52.5%) worked on the farm. 26(65%) of 40 eyes had Zone I injury. The median time spent before presentation was 13.5 day. Retinal detachment, vitreous hemorrhage, and endophthalmitis were present in 15, 23 and 5 eyes, respectively, before IOFB removal. The mean LogMAR visual acuity was improved significantly from 2.50±0.87 to 1.33± 1.01 (p=0.003). Poor presenting visual acuity, retinal detachment and large diameter of IOFB were found as the predictor of poor final visual acuity. Conclusion:  Pars plana vitrectomy by a vitreo retinal surgeon can give encouraging results in the cases of retained posterior segment IOFB. Poor presenting visual acuity, large diameter of IOFB and RD before IOFB removal are predictors of poor visual outcome.

Purpose: To compare the visual outcome in patients of nucleus drop undergoing same day pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) versus delayed PPV. Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted on 50 eyes with posteriorly dislocated nucleus after cataract surgery who underwent PPV. Study variables included the time duration between nucleus drop and PPV, nal best-corrected visual acuity(BCVA), and complications after PPV. In 7(14%) eyes, PPV was performed on the same day of cataract surgery and in 43(86%) eyes, an elective PPV was performed after 1 week of cataract surgery. All our cases had intraocular lens(IOL) implanted at the end of PPV. Patients were followed up for 6 months with BCVA, intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement, indirect ophthalmoscopy and ocular coherence tomography(OCT).Results: Comparison was made between VA in patients who underwent PPV on same day (n=7) and those who underwent delayed PPV (n=43). In the same day group, 85.71% patients had BCVA ranged between 6/6 to 6/18, while only 14.29% had BCVA between 6/18 to 6/60 at the nal follow up. In the delayed PPV group , 60.47% had BCVA range between 6/6 to 6/18, 27.90% had BCVA ranged between 6/18 to 6/60 and only 11.63% patients had BCVA of <6/60- hand movements (HM) . Pvalue was 0.398 which was not statistically signicant.Conclusion: Majority of the patients obtain good VAafter PPVfor nucleus drop irrespective of the time. The visual outcome in both the groups was comparable, but slightly better results were obtained in the same day PPVgroup.
