Operative Report PREOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS: Prolapsed vitreous in anterior chamber with corneal edema POSTOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS: Same OPERATION PERFORMED: Anterior vitrectomy The patient is a 72-year-old woman who approximately 10 months ago underwent cataract surgery with a YAG laser capsulotomy, developed corneal edema and required a corneal transplant. The patient has done well. Over the last few weeks, she developed posterior vitreous detachment with vitreous prolapse to the opening in the posterior capsule with vitreous into the anterior chamber with corneal touch and adhesion to the graft host junction and early corneal edema. The patient is admitted for anterior vitrectomy.PROCEDURE: The patient was prepped and draped in the usual manner after first undergoing retrobulbar anesthetic. A lid speculum was inserted. An incision was made at approximately the 10 o’clock meridian 3 mm in length, 2 mm posterior to the limbus, and grooved forward into clear cornea with a 3.2 mm anterior chamber. An anterior vitrectomy was carried out, placing a visco-elastic substance in the anterior chamber to maintain it. A Sinskey hook was used to sweep vitreous away from the corneal wound and this was removed with the disposable vitrectomy instrument. The patient’s pupil is noted to be round. There was no vitreous to the wound. The wound self-sealed without aqueous leak. Cautery was used to close the conjunctiva. Subconjunctival Decadron and Gentamicin was given.

The microscope was brought in, direct with microdissection there was a massive disk herniation on the right side underneath the nerve root as well as the left. The disc was incised with an 11-blade knife and was cleaned out with a series of straight and angled curettes and rongeurs. The disc was intertwined with the posterior longitudinal ligament.
