Overview

Retrospective study evaluates surgical outcomes of PPV in uveitis, indicating effective management.

Key Points

  • This study aims to evaluate the surgical outcomes and diagnostic role of pars plana vitrectomy in uveitis caused by different factors.
  • Retrospective analysis of 32 eyes undergoing 23-gauge PPV from 2019-2025.
  • Analysis of uveitis etiology, surgical indications, and best-corrected visual acuity pre- and post-operation.
  • Primary outcome assessed was change in BCVA, with secondary outcomes including anatomical success in retinal detachment cases.
  • Final anatomical success in retinal detachment cases was achieved in 93.8%.
  • Statistically significant improvement in BCVA was observed at 1, 6, and 12 months post-surgery.
  • 46.2% of eyes achieved a gain of ≥ 2 Snellen lines at final follow-up.
