ABSTRACT
Purpose:
To review the characteristics and outcomes of patients who underwent pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with scleral depressed vitreous shaving, 360 degree peripheral endolaser, and 14% C3F8 gas for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). Materials andMethods:
A retrospective review of a consecutive series of patients who underwent primary repair of RRD by PPV with scleral depressed vitreous shaving, 360 degree peripheral endolaser, and 14% perfluoropropane (C3F8) was conducted. Patients with less than 3 months follow‑up, previous retinal surgery, and higher than grade B proliferative vitreoretinopathy were excluded.Results:
Ninety‑one eyes were included in the study. The mean age was 60.1 years. The mean follow‑up was 13.7 months. The macula was detached in 63% (58/91) of the eyes. The reattachment rate after one surgical procedure was 95% (86/91) while overall reattachment rate was 100%. There was no statistically significant difference between reattachment rates of superior, nasal/temporal, or inferior RRDs. The mean final best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 20/40. Of all the patients, 66% of patients with macula‑off RRDs had a final BCVA of 20/40 or better.Conclusions:
PPV with scleral depressed vitreous shaving, 360 degree peripheral endolaser, and 14% C3F8 leads to successful anatomical reattachment with visual improvement in patients with primary RRD.
