ABSTRACT
@#Recurrent retinal detachment in silicone oil-filled eyes after vitrectomy is a special type of recurrent retinal detachment. Some patients require reoperation, which brings challenges for clinical work. The diagnosis and treatment of retinal detachment in silicone oil eyes have some characteristics. More attention should be paid to the identification of high-risk factors. Adequate doctor-patient communication and rational selection of treatment plan are essential for the prognosis of this disease.
ABSTRACT
Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) repair is one of the most common vitreoretinal surgeries a surgeon performs. In an ideal scenario, RRD can be repaired with a single surgical intervention; however, despite excellent skill, flawless technique, and the introduction of high-end technology, up to 10% of cases require additional interventions to ultimately repair recurrent detachments. It is thus important to study the outcomes of multiple interventions to understand whether performing repeat vitrectomy on patients with a history of failed surgeries is worthwhile. Thus, recurrent retinal detachment (re-RD) remains a significant challenge for vitreoretinal surgeons as well as the patients considering the economic and the emotional burden of undergoing multiple interventions. The advent of microincision vitrectomy system, perfluorocarbon liquids, and effective intraocular tamponades has opened new doors for managing re-RDs. In this article, we have reviewed and summarized the various causes and approaches for management for optimal anatomical and functional outcomes.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the characteristics and surgical managements of recurrent retinal detachment in silicone oil tamponade eyes.Methods The records of consecutive series of 134 patients (134 eyes) with recurrent retinal detachment in silicone oil tamponade eyes from January 2012 to December 2015 in our hospital were reviewed retrospectively,the vitrectomy combined with silicone oil replacement or scleral buckling procedure were performed.The follow-up time was 6 months,the surgical efficient was evaluated.Results 101 eyes underwent vitrectomy combined with silicone oil replacement.Retina was completely reattached in 79 eyes,and vitrectomy was reperformed in the left 22 eyes,the successful rate was 78.2％ (79/101);The visual acuity improved in 16 eyes,unchanged in 56 eyes,decreased in 29 eyes;The intraocular pressure of 31 eyes increased more than 25 mmHg (1 kPa =7.5 mmHg).33 eyes underwent scleral buckling procedure.Retina was completely reattached in 23 eyes,and vitrectomy combined with silicone oil replacement was performed in the left l0 eyes,the successful rate was 69.7％ (23/33);The visual acuity improved in 5 eyes,unchanged in 16 eyes,decreased in 12 eyes;The intraocular pressure of 14 eyes increased more than 25 mmHg.Conelusion For limited retinal detachment caused by inferior or peripheral holes,proliferative vitreoretinopathy in the A or B-class,the refractive medium does not affect the fundus examination,scleral buckling surgery is preferred;For the hole in the posterior pole or extensive retinal detachment caused by giant retinal holes,proliferation or retinal fixed fold formation,vitrectomy combined with silicone oil replacement is a better option.
ABSTRACT
AIM:To evaluate the feasibility and advantages of two-port 27-gauge pars plana vitrectomy for treatment of recurrent retinal detachment in silicone oil dwelling eyes.METHODS:A retrospective study.Two-port 27-gauge pars plana vitrectomy was performed in 7 eyes with recurrent retinal detachment without remove of silicone oil.Proliferative membrane peeling, endolaser treatment, and drainage of subretinal fluid were performed.Scleral bulking was performed if necessary.RESULTS:Sucessful retina re-attachment was accomplishied in all eyes.No visually significant intraoperative complication occurred.All eyes expericend quick recoveray of visual acuity and mild postoperative irritation.One eye developed a recurrent inferior retinal detchment in 20d after the surgery using non-remove technique, and recovered after conventional silicone oil removal and retinal reattachment surgery.CONCLUSION:Two-port 27-gauge pars plana vitrectomy is an efficacious (and potentially cost-efficient) method to treat early stage recurrent retinal detachment in silicone oil dwelling eyes.
ABSTRACT
OBJETIVOS: evaluar los resultados funcionales y anatómicos de la cirugía de desprendimiento de retina recurrente por vitreorretinopatía proliferativa. MÉTODOS: estudio observacional descriptivo retrospectivo en una serie de casos de 17 ojos diagnosticados de desprendimiento de retina recurrente por vitreorretinopatía proliferativa, que fueron intervenidos en el período comprendido entre enero 2010 y diciembre 2011. Los pacientes fueron seguidos hasta un mínimo de tres meses posteriores a la última intervención. Los resultados funcionales se evaluaron con la agudeza visual mejor corregida y los anatómicos a través del grado de readaptación retiniana y macular. RESULTADOS: fueron realizadas un total de 25 reintervenciones, rango 13. Se realizaron retinotomía/retinectomía en el 52 % de las cirugías, la mayoría con una extensión menor de 180º (84,6 %). El taponador que con mayor frecuencia se utilizó fue el aceite de silicona (23,92 %). La media de la agudeza visual mejor corregida posoperatoria fue de 1,28 logMAR, que mejoró en el 58,8 % de los ojos y fue inferior a 1,5 logMAR en el 90 % de ellos. El éxito de readaptación retiniana fue del 82,3 % (14 ojos). La readaptación macular se consiguió en el 100 % de los ojos. CONCLUSIONES: el tratamiento quirúrgico del desprendimiento de retina recurrente por proliferación vítreorretinal requiere la realización de diferentes opciones quirúrgicas para que resulte en reaplicación retiniana final y mejoría de la visión en los casos de alta complejidad.
OBJECTIVE: to assess the functional and anatomical results of surgery for recurrent retinal detachment caused by proliferative vitreoretinopathy. METHODS: retrospective, observational and descriptive study of a case series of 17 eyes diagnosed with recurrent retinal detachment caused by proliferative vitreo retinopathy were operated on in the period of January 2010 through December 2011. The patients were followed up for at least 3 months after the last surgery. Functional outcomes were assessed with best corrected visual acuity and the anatomical ones through the retinal and macular reattachment. RESULTS: a total of 25 reoperations were performed, a range of 1 to 3. Retinotomy and retinectomy were performed in 52 % of surgeries, most of them with an area less than 180° (84,6 %). The most frequently used tamponade was silicone oil (23,92 %). The mean postoperative best corrected visual acuity was 1,28 logMAR, improving in 58,8 % of eyes and being lower than 1,5 logMAR in 90 % of them. The retinal reattachment succeeded in 82,3 % (14 eyes). Macular reattachment occurred in 100 % of eyes. CONCLUSIONS: surgical treatment of the recurrent retinal detachment caused by vitreoretinal proliferation requires different surgical options to achieve the final retinal reattachment and visual improvement in highly complex cases.

Laser photocoagulation was performed around a detached retina in 4 patients who developed localized retinal detachment after successful scleral buckling. The range of retinal redetachment in all 4 patients was no larger than that of the initial retinal detachment and did not go over the vascular arcade. No evidence of vitreous traction or proliferative vitreoretinopathy was observed in these cases. Laser photocoagulation was performed in 3 lines of gray-white burn around the detached retina. Retinal attachment occurred between 4 and 14 days of laser treatment in all cases. No procedure related complications were seen. Laser photocoagulation may be an alternative procedure for the treatment of redetached retina with little and shallow detachment, before considering resurgery.

Ocular perforation during retinal reattachment surgery is very uncommon intraoperative complication.If globe rupture occurs, intraocular fluid leakage, ocular hypotony, and vitreous hemorrhage follow. Authors made an intraoperative ocular perforation inadvertently by scleral depressor on our patient who had a recurrent retinal detachment on his right eye. However, immediate scleral suture of the ruptured wound and balanced salt solution injection by pars plana route, and effective scleral exoplant maintained his retina anatomically flat. So, we present the case with a brief literatures review.
