Endoscopic Vitrectomy for Severe Posttraumatic Endophthamitis with Visualization Constraints.

For the following two cases with severe traumatic endophthamitis, a standard three-port pars plana vitrectomy was unavailable due to poor visualization of the anterior ocular segment. Endoscopic vitrectomy was elected to treat severe endophthalmitis successfully. Endoscopic vitrectomy for severe traumatic endophthalmitis is not only feasible and effective but also has the greatest degree of decrease in damaging eyeball integrity. Hence it is favorable to the restoration of ocular function and shape. Copyright 2010, SLACK Incorporated.
