  • Title: [Pars plana lensectomy in pediatric cataract].
    Author: Kain HL, Osusky R.
    Journal: Klin Monbl Augenheilkd; 1992 May; 200(5):451-3. PubMed ID: 1614122.
    Abstract:
    The pars plana approach to cataract extraction in the pediatric age has several advantages. We report of 9 eyes with congenital cataract and discuss the advantages of the pars plana technic. In all cases a single surgical approach was sufficient. There were no complications postoperatively which made either surgical or medical treatment necessary. Postoperatively aphakia was corrected with contact lenses. During pars plana-lensectomie the central part of the anterior and posterior capsule is removed and an anterior vitrectomie is performed. With this procedure secondary cataract formation could always be prevented.
