Examination of the sclerotomy sites after pars plana vitrectomy by ultrasound biomicroscopy

ABSTRACT

This present study aimed at studying different changes that could occur at the sclerotomy sites following pars plana vitrectomy by the use of ultrasound biomicroscopy. Ultrasound biomicroscopy [UBM] was used for examinations of slcerotomy sites in 60 eyes of 60 patients after pars plana vitrectomy. Different ultrasound biomicroscopic characteristics for these patients 8-10 weeks post operatively ranging from complete healing, gaping to fibrovascular proliferation. UBM is helpful in detecting complications at the sclerotomy sites after pars plana vitrectomy
