  • Title: Severe perforating injuries treated with pars plana vitrectomy.
    Author: Benson WE, Machemer R.
    Journal: Am J Ophthalmol; 1976 Jun; 81(6):728-32. PubMed ID: 937425.
    Abstract:
    Forty-one patients underwent vitrectomy through the pars plana for sequelae of severe penetrating injuries. Almost all were inoperable by conventional techniques. After a minimum follow-up time of six months, 13 eyes (32%) had visual improvement and six (15%) were technical successes. The main cause for failure was intravitreal proliferation of fibrous tissue.
