Treatment of postcataract extraction endophthalmitis: a summary of the results from the Endophthalmitis Vitrectomy Study.

چکیده
I N THE LATE 1980S, THE VALUE OF PARS PLANA VItrectomy (VIT) in the initial management of postcataract extraction-related endophthalmitis was unclear. Immediate VIT offered several theoretical advantages, but limited data from human case series had not shown that VIT conferred an advantage. In those reports, VIT had been reserved for eyes with the worst clinical manifestation. Because of severe selection bias in the reports, the role of pars plana VIT in the management of patients with endophthalmitis after cataract surgery remained uncertain.
