Clinical efficiency of operative treatment for retinal detachment caused by macular hole in high myopia / 中华眼底病杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the clinical effects of surgical treatment of retinal detachment(RD) caused by macular hole(MH) in high myopia. Methods The clinical materials of 149 eyes of 149 high myopia patients with RD caused by MH were reviewed. The cases were divided into complete posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) group and incomplete PVD group. The anatomic successful rate of operative treatment was evaluated according to the applications of vitrectomy surgery and non vitrectomy surgery respectively in each group. The visual acuity changes after the operations were also observed. Results The anatomic successful rates were as follow 77.9% in total cases with vitrectomy surgery and 25.9% with non vitrectomy surgery ( P 0.05). Conclusions The scleral buckling combined with vitrectomy, gas intraocular tamponade and postoperative photocoagulation is an effective and optimal procedure for RD caused by MH in high myopia.
