Résumé
Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of triamcinolone acetonide peribulbar injection combined with vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment associated with choroidal detachment (RRD-CD).Methods:This study was a retrospective case series study. Nineteen cases (19 eyes) with RRD-CD who had undergone pars plana vitrectomy at the Dalian No.3 People′s Hospital were analyzed. All the cases received 20 mg triamcinolone acetonide peribulbar injection within 3 to 7 days before surgery. The severity of patient′s uveitis was assessed before and after peribulbar injection of triamcinolone acetonide. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and intra ocular pressure (IOP) before and after surgery, the area of retinal detachment, the rate of retinal reattachment, the rate of recurrent retinal detachment and surgical complications were analyzed. Patients′ blood pressure and blood glucose levels were also monitored.Results:19 patients were followed up for (13.1±1.5)months. The severity of uveitis reduced to different extents compared with preoperative condition. The IOP was (8.73±3.38)mmHg before injection and (10.95±2.46)mmHg after injection, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=-7.571, P=0.027). The choroid detachment range was 4-12(9.37±2.69)sites before injection, and 0-11(4.63±4.10)sites after injection, and the difference was statistically significant ( Z=-3.834, P=0.001). Compared with the preoperative results, the BCVA increased in 12 patients, unchanged in 5 cases and decreased in 2 cases. In the final follow-up of 18 patients with retinal reattachment, 17 eyes underwent a single operation, 2 eyes had recurrent retinal detachment, and 1 eye had retinal reattachment after a second operation. There were no significant difference in blood glucose and blood pressure before and after injection (all P>0.05). There were no other complications besides temporarily elevated IOP and cataract. Conclusions:Vitrectomy combined with triamcinolone acetonide peribulbar injection is effective and safe for patients with RRD-CD.
