RESUMEN
@#AIM: To observe the efficacy and safety of 25-gauge vitrectomy combined with air tamponade for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. <p>METHODS: The clinical data of 30 eyes with primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment(RRD)from 30 patients who received vitrectomy with intraocular air tamponade in Zunyi First People's Hospital from August 2017 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. The best corrected visual acuity(BCVA)(LogMAR), intraocular pressure were evamined before surgery, 1wk and 1mo after surgery, while the retinal reattachment rate, intraoperative and postoperative complications were recorded.<p>RESULTS: The mean BCVA was significant different among before surgery, 1wk and 1mo after surgery(<i>F</i>=3.74, <i>P</i>=0.047), and the BCVA at 1wk and 1mo after surgery was evidently improved in comparison with before surgery(0.64±0.36 <i>vs </i>0.87±0.71; 0.37±0.22 <i>vs</i> 0.87±0.71). The mean IOP was(13.61±3.57),(15.74±4.84)and(14.05±2.88)mmHg before surgery, 1wk and 1mo after surgery, showing no significant difference in IOP before and after operation(<i>F</i>=4.13, <i>P</i>=0.051). The retinal reattachment rate of retinal hiatus was 97%(29/30)1wk after operation. Postoperative OCT monitored 1 eye of persistent subomental effusion, which was absorbed 3mo after operation.<p>CONCLUSION: Vitrectomy combined with air tamponade is effective in the treatment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. It can improve visual quality, reduce complications related to silicone oil and reduce the economic burden of patients.
RESUMEN
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of 27-gauge sutureless vitrectomy with air tamponade for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD).Methods The clinical data of 35 consecutive eyes with primary RRD from 35 patients who received 27-gauge vitrectomy with intraocular air tamponade in Zhongshan Eye Center from April 2016 to January 2017 were retrospectively analyzed.The mean follow-up duration was 8.6 months.Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) (LogMAR) and intraocular pressure (IOP) were examined before surgery,1 week and 3 months after surgery.The operative duration,sclerotomy sites,retinal reattachment rate,intraoperative and postoperative complications were recorded.Results The mean duration of vitreous removal was (15.3 ± 3.6) minutes,and the mean duration of operation was (34.5 ± 4.8) minutes.No suturing process was performed at sclerotomy sites in all eyes.The retinal reattachment rate following a single procedure was 100％.The mean BCVA was significantly different among before surgery,1 week and 3 months after surgery (F =64.12,P＜0.01),and the BCVA at 1 week and 3 months after surgery was evidently improved in comparison with before surgery (0.82±0.31 vs.1.01 ±0.40;0.68±0.30 vs.1.01 ±0.40) (both at P＜0.05).The mean IOP was (14.69±3.66),(17.37±2.32) and (16.69±2.45) mmHg (1 mmHg =0.133 kPa) before surgery,1 week and 3 months after surgery,showing a significant difference among them (F=14.82,P＜0.01),and the IOP 1 week and 3 months after surgery was evidently higher than that before surgery (both at P＜0.05).The complications included intraoperative iatrogenic retinal breaks in 2 eyes,postoperative hypotony in 1 eye and hypertension in 5 eyes.These complications were curable.Conclusions 27-Gauge vitrectomy and air tamponade for RRD is an effective and safe approach.
