[Vitrectomy technique in aggressive posterior retinopathy of prematurity].

Aim: to develop the methodology of early primary vitrectomy for aggressive posterior retinopathy of prematurity.

Material And Methods: The study included 10 preterm infants (20 eyes; gestational term - 26-30 weeks, post-conceptual age - 34-39 weeks) with severe forms of aggressive posterior retinopathy of prematurity (AP-ROP). All patients underwent a complex ophthalmic examination.

[Pattern retinal laser coagulation in treatment of aggressive posterior retinopathy of prematurity].

Efficacy of pattern scanning laser coagulation in treatment of aggressive posterior retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) was evaluated. 25 premature neonates (50 eyes) with aggressive posterior ROP were examined and divided into two groups. 13 infants (26 eyes) of the 1st group underwent pattern laser coagulation performed using automanual scanning laser ophthalmologic coagulator.
