- Abstract
- The features of pediatric vitreoretinal surgery are different from those of the adult population. In order to identify those differences, our retrospective study, dealing with a consecutive series of 2230 patients who underwent vitreoretinal surgery, analyzes several parameters for the 43 young patients (under 19 years old) (2%). Two main results can be withdrawn from the study. First, trauma is a major cause of vitreoretinal surgery in children (30% of the cases), proportionally much more frequent than in adults. Second, patient's age is the only factor that significantly influences the surgical prognosis, with a success rate of 35% under the age of 10 years, and 73% above this age (p < 0.05). We conclude that pediatric vitreoretinal surgery has a more guarded prognosis compared to the one performed in the adult population.
