[Surgical treatment of ectopic lentis (a report of 113 cases) (author's transl)].

The analysis of the results of surgical treatment of ectopia lentis by different technics used since twenty years on 113 cases demonstrates that: --In spite of satisfactory results obtained by discission alone of the lens when surgical possibilities were limited, this method must now be given up.--Intra-capsular extraction is still valuable when the lens is luxated in the anterior chamber or cataracted.--Extra-capsular extraction remains nowadays the best technic:--by classical discission aspiration associated to an anterior vitrectomy in case of rupture of the hyaloid, when the lens is moderately subluxated;--by means of the vitreotome through the pars plana when the lens is totally luxated.
