AIM:To discuss the clinical effects of vitreoretinal surgery for the treatment of complicated ocular trauma.

METHODS: From December 2009 to January 2011, 59 patients with complicated ocular trauma were selected as objects in our hospital. They were divided into observation group and control group, according to different treatment methods. Observation group(vitreoretinal surgery group, n=31, 54 eyes)and control group(conventional operation group, n=28, 53 eyes). A retrospective analysis was made on vision and complications.

RESULTS: There were no significantly differences for the vision before surgery in two groups. In observation group, the normal vision rate for the patients was 31.5%(normal vision: >0.01), it was obviously higher than before the surgery and after the surgery in control group. The surgery success rate included functions cure and anatomy cure: in observation group, the surgery success rate was 87.1%, secondary glaucoma in 3 cases(5.6%), corneal degeneration in 3 cases(5.6%), optic nerve atrophy in 2 case(3.7%), the incidence of complications was 14.9%, P<0.05. There were significant differences after statistical analysis.

CONCLUSION: Vitreoretinal surgery for the treatment of complicated ocular trauma can improve the curative effects and reduce the rate of blindness. It is a more effective surgery method for the treatment of complicated ocular trauma.
