There were 40 men (51%) and 38 women (49%). The mean follow-up period after surgery was 13.8 months. Forty-five patients (58%) had vitrectomy within 1 day of phacoemulsification (group A), 22 (28%) within 1 week (group B) and 11 (14%) after more than 1 week (group C). No patients in group A developed complications, and 76% achieved a final visual acuity of 6\/12 or better. In group B, all patients had elevated intraocular pressure, and 45% achieved a final visual acuity of 6\/12 or better. In group C, all patients presented with corneal edema, moderate or severe uveitis, and elevated intraocular pressure. Of these patients, 27% had cystoid macular edema, 36% developed retinal detachment, and 27% had a final visual acuity of 6\/12 or better. <i>Conclusion:<\/i> Pars plana vitrectomy performed immediately after cataract surgery for retained lens fragments is a viable option and may achieve a better visual outcome, with reduced risk of secondary glaucoma, retinal detachment or cystoid macular edema.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000139953","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,6,18]],"date-time":"2008-06-18T14:37:24Z","timestamp":1213799844000},"page":"277-283","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["Immediate Pars Plana Vitrectomy Improves Outcome in Retained Intravitreal Lens Fragments after Phacoemulsification"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"222","author":[{"given":"Ching-Long","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Teng-Yi","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jen-Hao","family":"Cheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ming-Cheng","family":"Tai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Da-Wen","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jiann-Torng","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,6,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2FS0886-3350%2801%2900784-2"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136%2Fbjo.85.9.1038"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2FS0039-6257%2899%2900022-3"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2FS0886-3350%2801%2900750-7"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2FS0886-3350%2801%2901223-8"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2FS0886-3350%2801%2901079-3"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046%2Fj.1442-9071.2002.00568.x"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2FS0161-6420%2803%2900488-3"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2FS0161-6420%2801%2900698-4"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136%2Fbjo.83.10.1135"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038%2Fsj.eye.6701708"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1034%2Fj.1600-0420.2000.078006677.x"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1076%2Focii.9.1.41.3979"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2FS0161-6420%2803%2900020-4"}],"container-title":["Ophthalmologica"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/139953","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/139953","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,24]],"date-time":"2025-04-24T01:33:15Z","timestamp":1745458395000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000139953"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2008]]},"references-count":14,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,8,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000139953","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0030-3755","1423-0267"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0030-3755","type":"print"},{"value":"1423-0267","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2008]]}}}
