RESUMO
AIM: To compare the outcome of C3F8 versus silicone oil tamponade after pars plana vitrectomy(PPV)and inverted internal limiting membrane(ILM)for the treatment of highly myopic macular hole retinal detachment(MHRD).METHODS: Retrospective clinical study. Totally 45 patients(45 eyes)with highly myopic MHRD who visited our hospital between January 2019 and August 2022 were selected as the research subjects. The patients were divided into two groups according to different intraocular tamponade agents: C3F8(22 eyes)and silicone oil(23 eyes)groups. All patients underwent conventional three-incision PPV, ILM was tamped, a venous blood clot was placed on the tamped ILM, and 15% C3F8 and silicone oil were used as tamponade, respectively. The best corrected visual acuity(BCVA), multifocal electroretinogram(mfERG), the closure of the macular hole, retinal reattachment and the complications were observed.RESULTS: The macular hole closure rate was 77% in the C3F8 group and 83% in the silicone oil group, respectively(P>0.05), and retinal reattachment rates were 95% and 96%, respectively(P>0.05). The visual acuity of the two groups significantly improved, which was 0.99±0.34 and 1.22±0.37, respectively, and the C3F8 group was better than that of the silicone oil group(t=-2.156, P=0.037). After operation, the response density of the first ring of P1 wave in the first order kernel in mfERG was 114.27±26.37 nV/deg2 for the C3F8 group and 98.08±24.36 nV/deg2 for the silicone oil group, and the response density of the second ring of P1 wave was 80.45±14.94 nV/deg2 for the C3F8 group and 67.73±15.33 nV/deg2 for the silicone oil group, all of which were significantly higher compared to pre-operation [the response density of the first ring of P1 wave: 58.13±13.96 nV/deg2 for the C3F8 group and 55.30±10.48 nV/deg2 for the silicone oil group, the response density of the second ring of P1 wave: 51.18±8.19 nV/deg2 for the C3F8 group and 47.43±11.97 nV/deg2 for the silicone oil group](all P<0.05). It was found that the response density of the first ring of P1 wave was lower in the silicone oil group than in the C3F8 group(P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of complications between the two groups(P>0.05).CONCLUSION: Silicone oil tamponade or C3F8 tamponade after PPV combined with ILM can both promote retinal reattachment and macular hole closure in patients with MHRD, and the C3F8 tamponade was superior to silicone oil in visual function recovery.
RESUMO
AIM: To investigate the efficacy of modified silicone oil removal combined with scleral buckling in the treatment of patients with retinal detachment under silicone oil tamponade.METHODS:The retrospective study included a total of 14 patients(14 eyes)who underwent treatment for retinal detachment with silicone oil tamponade at our hospital between January 2021 and February 2023. The modified silicon oil extraction combined with scleral buckling procedure was employed. A self-made 23-gauge suction device was applied in the silicon oil extraction, which involved removing the needle from a disposable blood transfusion set, trimming it to 2.5-3.0 mm near the beveled end, and connecting the other end to a 10 mL syringe without the plunger. The opposite end of the syringe was connected to the negative pressure system of the vitreous cutter to accomplish the silicon oil removal. Scleral compression blocks in scleral buckling surgery using a homemade composite device. No additional silicon oil was injected after the procedure. Follow-up was conducted for 6 mo, assessing retinal reattachment, best-corrected visual acuity(BCVA), intraocular pressure, and complications.RESULTS: At the 6 mo follow-up, the retina was completely reset in 13 eyes, with a retinal reset rate of 93%, and an improvement in BCVA(LogMAR)compared with the preoperative period(0.95±0.18 vs 1.15±0.21, P=0.002). Transient high IOP occurred in 6 eyes at 1 d postoperatively and returned to normal after medication control. There were no intraoperative complications such as retinal hemorrhage, retinal incarceration, or iatrogenic retinal breaks, and no postoperative complications such as endophthalmitis or choroidal detachment.CONCLUSIONS:Modified silicone oil removal combined with scleral buckling can effectively treat retinal detachment in the silicone oil tamponade and induce retinal reattachment.
RESUMO
Objective:To observe the efficacy of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) in the treatment of different types of chorioretinal coloboma with retinal detachment (RD).Methods:A single-center, retrospective clinical study. From April 2021 to March 2023, 24 eyes of 23 patients who were diagnosed as chorioretinal coloboma with RD in Henan Provincial Eye Hospital were included in this study. There were 11 males with 12 eyes and 12 females with 12 eyes. The mean age was (33.3±13.7) years old. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), spectral domain optical coherence tomography were performed. The BCVA examination was performed using a international standard logarithmic visual acuity chart, which was converted into logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) visual acuity during statistics. According to the types of chorioretinal coloboma, the affected eyes were divided into the coloboma involved the optic disc group and the coloboma not involved the optic disc group, with 15 eyes and 9 eyes. According to whether the RD containing the coloboma area, the affected eyes were divided into RD containing the coloboma area group and the RD not containing the coloboma area group, with 15 eyes and 9 eyes. All eyes underwent standard pars plana three-channel 25G PPV, retinal laser photocoagulation combined with silicone oil tamponade. The follow-up time after surgery was (19.5±16.3) months. The last follow-up was the time point for efficacy determination. The retinal reattachment, BCVA recovery and postoperative complications were observed. Paired t-test or t test was performed for comparison of quantitative data. Fisher's exact test was performed for comparison of qualitative data. Results:At the last follow-up, retinal reattachment was achieved in 20 eyes (83.3%, 20/24). The logMAR BCVA of the coloboma involved the optic disc group before and after surgery were 1.85±0.62 and 1.71±0.71, the difference was no significant ( t=0.845 , P=0.412). The logMAR BCVA of the coloboma not involved the optic disc group before and after surgery were 1.75±0.45 and 0.84±0.26, the difference was statistically significant ( t=6.153 , P<0.001). The improvement of BCVA in the coloboma not involved the optic disc group was significantly higher than that in the coloboma involved the optic disc group after surgery, with statistically significant differences ( t=3.024 , P=0.006). There was no significant difference in the retinal reattachment rate between the two groups ( P=0.615). There was no significant difference in the retinal reattachment rate between the RD containing the coloboma area group and the RD not containing the coloboma area group ( P=0.259). Postoperative complications included elevated intraocular pressure in five eyes, cataract progression in ten eyes, recurrent RD in two eyes, bullous keratopathy in one eye and band-shaped keratopathy in one eye. Conclusion:PPV combined with silicone oil tamponade is safe and effective in the treatment of chorioretinal coloboma with RD, the improvement of visual acuity in the coloboma not involved the optic disc group is better than that in the coloboma involved the optic disc group after surgery.
RESUMO
The classical surgical operations for foveoschisis in high myopia are vitrectomy, artificial posterior vitreous detachment, removal of the pre-macular vitreous cortex, removal of the inner limiting membrane (ILM) and intraocular gas tamponade, with some minor variations on those basis, including no removal of the ILM or ILM peeling with preservation of the fovea area; with or without gas filling, long-term silicone oil tamponade, etc. All the procedures have achieved certain efficacy and the foveoschis can be fully or partially relieved and the visual acuity can be improved to different degrees. It is worthwhile to emphasize, the most common and serious complication of the surgery is the occurrence of full-thickness macular hole or even postoperative macular hole retinal detachment. To address the risk of such complications, a safe and effective outcome can be achieved in the majority of cases by using ILM peeling with preservation of the fovea area. For high-risk cases where the operator is concerned about intraoperative or postoperative macular hole, a long-term silicone oil tamponade without ILM removal is proposed to prevent the risk of surgery-related macular hole formation.

RESUMO
@#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.
RESUMO
@#AIM: To compare the efficacy of air versus silicone oil tamponade for management of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment(RRD)following 25G pars plana vitrectomy(PPV).<p>METHODS: A prospective, randomized comparative study. 146 eyes from 146 patients who underwent 25G transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy to repair rhegmatogenous retinal detachment were performed. Totally 60 eyes used air tamponade but 86 eyes used silicone oil tamponade. The follow-up time ranged from 6-12mo. The best corrected visual acuity(LogMAR), intraocular pressure, retinal reattachment rate, intraoperative and postoperative complications were compared.<p>RESULTS: One month after surgery, the mean BCVA was 0.45±0.5 in the air tamponade group and 0.78±0.65 in the silicone oil tamponade group, it were both evidently improved in comparison with before surgery, what's more, air tamponade had significantly better BCVA than those in the silicone oil tamponade(both <i>P</i><0.05). 3mo after surgery, the reattachment rate of patients in air group was lower than that of silicone oil group(93.3% <i>vs</i> 97.7%), but had no significant differences between the two groups. 6mo after surgery, the anatomical success rate were 100% in both groups. The main intraoperative complication was iatrgenic retinal breaks in 10 eyes(6.8%). The main postoperative complication was high intraocular pressure, the intraocular pressure 1wk after surgery in the silicone oil tamponade group was evidently higher than that air tamponade group(<i>P</i><0.001). No serious complication such as endophthalmitis and choroidal hemorrhage were observed in both groups.<p>CONCLUSION: For the simple early RRD, air tamponade had equivalent reattachment rate to silicone oil tamponade after 25G PPV. In the early postoperative, the visual acuity of air group was better comparing with silicone oil group, and was lower incidence of high intraocular pressure.

·AIM:To discuss the clinical efficacy of 27-gauge (27G) vitrectomy with proliferative membrane cutting in situ for late proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). ·METHODS: Collecting 10 cases (15 eyes) with late PDR from January 2017 to August 2017 which underwent 27G microincision vitrectomy with cutting proliferative membrane in situ, we observed the rate of intraoperative iatrogenic retinal hole ( IRH ), the rate of silicone oil tamponade, the best corrected visual acuity ( BCVA) and intraocular pressure (IOP) before and after operation. ·RESULTS: IRH occurred in 4 eyes (27%, 4/15); Silicone oil was tamponaded in 6 eyes (40%, 6/15); BCVA was improved in 13 eyes and only 2 eyes unchanged 3mo after operation. The best visual acuity (VA) was 0. 6. There was significant difference on BCVA between preoperative and postoperative 7d(P<0. 05). The same was found between preoperative and postoperative 1mo, even 3mo(P<0. 05). The average preoperative IOP was 16. 95 ± 6. 87mmHg and postoperative 3mo was 15. 27 ± 4. 57mmHg. There was no significant difference between them (P>0. 05). · CONCLUSION: The 27G vitrectomy with cutting proliferative membrane in situ method is markedly superior in the treatment of late PDR, and the curative effect is specific. It can be given preference to late PDR.
RESUMO
@#Silicone oil, as a temporary vitreous substitute, has been widely applied to the treatment of various complex vitreoretinal disease. However, silicone oil tamponade also causes a variety of postoperative complications, the most common of which is temporary or permanent elevated intraocular pressure(IOP). A number of studies have shown that intraocular pressure after silicone oil filling is affected by a variety of factors. In this paper, the progress on the risk factors and pathogenesis of secondary high intraocular pressure after silicone oil tamponade are reviewed, which might provide a reference for the timely and effective control of IOP.
