| Summary: | AIM:To analyze the therapeutics effect of electromagnet in vitrectomy for irregular intraocular magnetic foreign body removal.<p>METHODS:Clinical data of 60 cases(60 eyes)from January 2012 to December 2013 with intraocular magnetic foreign bodies were retrospective analyzed. Thirty eyes underwent vitrectomy only, and electromagnet was applied in the other 30 eyes underwent vitrectomy. The success rate and complications in and after operations were compared between the two groups.<p>RESULTS:Twenty-eight(93%)patients had their foreign bodies removed successfully at the first time in electromagnet group and twenty(67%)patients in vitrectomy group,there was statistic significant difference(<i>χ</i><sup>2</sup>=5.333,<i>P</i>=0.021). Fewer complications happened in and after operations when electromagnet was used.<p>CONCLUSION:The application of electromagnet shows advantage in vitrectomy for irregular intraocular magnetic foreign body removal and it deserves promotion. |
