Abstract
The pars plana sclerotomy has been considered to be a potential site for complications. Ultrasound biomicroscopy was used for in vivo examination of the entry sites in 20 eyes of 19 patients after vitrectomy. In all patients the entry sites were identified by ultrasound biomicroscopy. Extensive membranes at the sclerotomy were found in eyes treated for complications after vitrectomy. Ultrasound biomicroscopy allows in vivo examination of the pars plana sclerotomy and gives further insight into postoperative complications.
