Abstract: Objective To summarize the experience in nursing children with pediatric advanced intraocular retinoblastoma treated with 23-gauge microinvasive vitrectomy. Methods Eleven infants (12 eyes) suffered from advanced intraocular (D or E) retinoblastoma and treated with 23-gauge microinvasive vitrectomy. Preoperative psychological nursing, postoperative complication nursing and follow-up nursing were performed. Results The retinal tumors was completely removed in all 12 eyes. After the follow-up of a half year, the conditions in 8 eyes were stable, and the tumors in 4 eyes recurred. Visual acuity in 4 eyes improved and that in 1 eye remained unchanged. Conclusions Microinvasive vitreous operation can effectively remove advanced intraocular retinoblastoma. Active efficient perioperative nursing plays an important role for the prevention of complications and promoting the recovery of affected eyes.
