Vitreoretinal surgery for retinal detachment with choroid detachment / 眼科新进展

ABSTRACT

Objective　 To probe into the operative methods, effects and reasons of failure for retinal detachment with choroid detachment.Methods　Thirty-one cases (31 eyes) with choroid detachment and proliferative vitreous retinopathy (PVR) were given vitreoretinal surgery, stripping of pre-membrane and injection of inert gas or silicone oil into vitreous body. Results　The retina was totally reattached in 22 cases (22 eyes), partly reattached in 5 cases (5 eyes),unattached in 4 cases (4 eyes),which was accounted for 70.9%,16.1% and 12.9% in 31 cases (31 eyes) respectively. Visual acuity improved in 25 eyes and no change in 5 eyes and decreased in 1 eye. The main cause of operation failure was possibly related to the severe anterior PVR. Conclusion　Vitreoretinal surgery can improve the successful rate of retinal detachment with choroid detachment.
