  • Title: Pars plana vitrectomy.
    Author: Young PW, Shea M.
    Journal: Can J Ophthalmol; 1977 Apr; 12(2):106-13. PubMed ID: 880509.
    Abstract:
    We describe our first 127 vitrectomies through the pars plana performed on 120 eyes for a variety of indications. The success rate in anterior segment disorders was 45% and in those of the posterior segment 34%. While in some cases the results were encouraging, in others they were disastrous. Some 12 eyes (10%) went on to lose perception of light.
