【Abstract】 Objective To explore the best time of performing vitrectomy in the treatment of open ocular trauma.Methods 138 patients with open ocular traumas,admitted to Panjin Central Hospital from January 2018 to August 2020,were enrolled and divided into observation group (n =69) and control group (n =69) using random number table. Patientsin observation group underwent vitrectomy on day 2 -4 after injury,and patients in control group underwent vitrectomy on day 10 -14 after injury. The eyeball retention rate,and clinical efficacy and such complications as vitreous secondary hem-atocele,secondary glaucoma,traumatic proliferative vitreoretinopathy (tPVR),infection,and silicone oil dependence at 3-month follow-up were compared. Results The eyeball retention rate in observation group was 97.10%,which was not significantly different from 97.10% in control group (χ2 =0.000,P =1.000); at 3-month follow-up,in observation group,52 cases were cured functionally,12 cases were cured anatomically,and 5 cases were not cured,which were significantly better than control group,in which 33 cases were cured functionally,17 cases were cured anatomically,and 19 cases were not cured (Z = -3.570,P <0.001); the incidence of postoperative complications in observation group was 7.24%,significantly lower than 56.52% in control group (χ2 =38.571,P <0.001). Conclusion Early vitrectomy for patients with open ocular trauma can facilitate retina reduction,improve the postoperative cure rate,reduce the incidence of complications such as vitreous hematocele,secondary glaucoma and tPVR,and realize a better postoperative prognosis,deserving to be promoted in clinical practice. |
