[Anterior ocular reconstruction (author's transl)].

Vitrectomy instruments are very helpful for anterior ocular reconstruction following trauma. Pars plana approach seems better than limbal approach. This latter is reserved for cases where micro-surgical scissors must be used in addition to the vitreous instrument. When pars plana approach is chosen, a phakofragmentation unit is needed for the removal of adult cataract with marked nucleus sclerosis.
