Despite improvements in neonatal care, retinopathy of prematurity is still leading cause of blindness in the world. The most treatment problems pose stage 4 and 5 of this disease. Performing vitrectomy in stage 5 is a subject of controversy among ophthalmologists due to unsatisfactory functional results after the surgery. Therefore, our aim was to present the results of 1000 vitrectomies performed by the author in years 1994–2019 in 1018 eyes of 692 children with stage 5 retinopathy of prematurity. In these children lens sparing vitrectomies and lensectomy-vitrectomy with limbal approach were performed. The results were compared with visual function of 127 untreated children with stage 5 retinopathy of prematurity. Visual acuity of treated patients ranged from 0.05 to no light perception in stage 5 and from no light perception to finger counting in the untreated group. Comparing the functional results of treated and untreated patients, it can be concluded that vitrectomy gives a better chance of gaining useful vision.

ntroduction: Laryngeal cancer and its treatment are associated with both short- and long-term side effects, affecting laryngeal functions and having an impact on the quality of life. Material and methods: Retrospective analysis of the medical records of patients receiving surgical or non-surgical, larynx- -preserving treatment for laryngeal cancer. R esults: After termination of the treatment, the highest proportion of patients with bad voice quality was in the glottic carcinoma group (both in early and late phase), with swallowing dysfunction in the transglottic carcinoma group. Compared to the situation before the treatment, the proportion of patients with impaired voice quality (bad voice quality and loss of voice) initially decreased among all groups (except for supraglottic carcinomas), and during the first post-treatment year either increased or did not change. The proportion of patients with no swallowing dysfunction increased in the supraglottic, subglottic and transglottic carcinoma groups. D iscussion: We consider necessary the implementation of a standard pre- and post-treatment monitoring of the voice and swallowing function in the management of patients with laryngeal cancer.
