Abstract
VITRECTOMY CAN BE PERFORMED FOR SEVERAL INDICATIONS IN UVEITIS PATIENTS. THE PURPOSE COULD BE THERAPEUTIC, DIAGNOSTIC OR JUST PALLIATIVE.THE VALUE OF OBTAINING VITREOUS SAMPLE IS PARAMOUNT FOR DIAGNOSIS IN UVEITIS WHEN CLINICAL DIAGNOSIS IS CHALLENGING.THE VITREOUS ACTS AS RESERVOIR OF INFLAMMATORY CYTOKINES INCREASING THE ANTIGENIC LOAD. THE CHRONIC INFLAMMATION MAY LEAD TO MANY VR COMPLICATIONS LIKE VITREOUS OPACITIES, ERM, CYCLITIC MEMBRANES, NEOVASCULARIZATION, RETINAL DETACHMENT, PVR AND HYPOTONY.A TIMELY VR SURGERY COULD SAVE MANY EYES IN THESE SITUATIONS. THERE ARE DIFFICULTIES ENCOUNTERED DURING THE SURGERY DUE TO NECROTIC RETINA. SURGICAL STEPS LIKE LASER & CHOICE OF TAMPONADE COULD BE CHALLENGING. THE POSTOPERATIVE PERIOD IS STORMY AND UNPREDICTABLE. MANAGING THEM CASES NEED SPECIAL EXPERTISE. THIS COURSE AIMS AT GENERAL OPHTHALMOLOGIST, UVEA & VR SURGEONS IN TRAINING OR PRACTICE & GIVE INSIGHTS INTO THE INDICATIONS OF VR SURGERY, CHALLENGES, THEIR PREVENTION & MANAGEMENT.
