This research offers an evaluative clinical assessment comparing the therapeutic outcomes of microincision 25/27-gauge Pars Plana Vitrectomy (PPV) between acute postoperative intraocular infections and post-traumatic endophthalmitis resulting from open-globe mechanical trauma with retained intraocular foreign bodies (IOFB). Based on a sample of 58 affected eyes, the article examines structural eye preservation, pathogen diversity, functional visual recovery, and post-operative complications, while offering refined intraocular irrigation protocols and surgical timing criteria.
