[Vitrectomy after intracapsular cataract extraction (author's transl)].

A report is given on transpupillar vitrectomy with the suction wedge for prolapse of the vitreous after intracapsular cataract extraction. From the results obtained this method can be recommended. In aphakic eyes with drawn up pupil the pupil should be cut out underneath after opening the anterior chamber. Also in this case vitrectomy must be performed before closure of the anterior chamber.
