The preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative factors related with recurrence of HSK were compared and analyed between the recurrent cases and no recurrent cases.
ResultsIn 108 eyes, 36 (33.3%) eyes were found recurrent HSK after vitrectomy. The size of vitrectomy cutter head, intraoperative observation system, intraocular tamponade, postoperative capsular membrane integrity were not relative with recurrence of HSK. And the age, diabetes, preoperative HSK recurrence times, operative time, surgical methods, corneal epithelial curettage, postoperative high intraocular pressure, corneal lesions and influenza were relative with recurrence of HSK.
