Evaluation of supporting role of a foldable capsular vitreous body with magnetic resonance imaging in the treatment of severe retinal detachment in human eyes.

ABSTRACT: To determine the supporting role of a novel foldable capsular vitreous body (FCVB) with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the treatment of severe retinal detachment in human eyes.The study examined nine eyes of nine patients. Among the nine eyes, five had suffered penetrating injuries while four had suffered contusions of the eyeball involving large defects of the retina or choroids. A standard three-port pars plana vitrectomy was performed, FCVB was triple-folded and sent into the vitreous cavity; balanced salt solution (BSS) was injected into the capsule to support the retina. Three cardinal axes of nine eyes were examined using MRI at baseline and at the 3-month follow up.MRI revealed that the signal intensity of the FCVB was similar to the normal vitreous body, with low-signal intensity on T1-weighted image and high-signal intensity on T2-weighted image. In three pre-operative silicone oil- or heavy silicone oil-filled eyes, FCVBs were not fully inflated, and eyeball deformation was observed in one eye. Shifts of three cardinal axes of three eyes (horizontal, anteroposterior, and vertical) according to MRI, were -4.33, -4.67, and -2.67?mm. In the remaining six eyes, FCVBs were well distributed in the vitreous cavity and evenly supported the retina; the cardinal axes of the eyes were similar to pre-operation. Shifts of three cardinal axes of six eyes were -0.34, -0.34, and -0.34?mm. In a total of nine eyes, shifts of three cardinal axes were -1.67, -1.77, and -1.11?mm. Statistically significant difference showed only between the horizontal axis of nine eyes pre-operatively and post-operatively (P1=0.041, P2=0.058, P3=0.123).This study demonstrated the effectiveness of MRI to monitor the supporting role of an FCVB in the treatment of severe retinal detachment in human eyes.

Project description:PurposeTo evaluate the clinical effectiveness and safety of foldable capsular vitreous body (FCVB) implantation for severe retinal detachment.MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed on 26 patients with severe ocular trauma and one with recurrent retinal detachment. Clinical data-including surgery success, complications, retinal reattachment, vision, and intraocular pressure (IOP)-were analyzed for patients who underwent 23G pars plana vitrectomy and FCVB implantation combined with silicone oil tamponade.ResultsThe mean follow-up period was 10.44 ± 2.68 months. All surgeries were smooth; the FCVBs were properly positioned and supported the retina well, and the retinal reattachment rate reached 92.59%. At the six-month follow-up, preoperative (1.30 ± 1.20) and postoperative (0.63 ± 0.79) vision was significantly different (t = 3.03, P = 0.005), and the postoperative IOP (7.93 ± 3.57 mm Hg) was lower than the preoperative IOP (13.98 ± 10.72 mm Hg) (t = 2.74, P = 0.01). Among 20 patients followed up for >12 months, preoperative (1.20 ± 0.95) and postoperative (0.75 ± 0.91) visions were significantly different (t = 1.831, P = 0.005), and the postoperative IOP (9.85 ± 6.48 mm Hg) was lower than the preoperative IOP (14.85 ± 12.17 mm Hg) (t = 1.82, P = 0.01). No endophthalmitis, sympathetic ophthalmia, and rejection of FCVB occurred during follow-up.ConclusionsFCVB combined with silicone oil tamponade showed good efficacy and safety in severe retinal detachment treatment during the follow-up period.Translational relevanceVitreous substitution is deemed a highly challenging and interesting research topic in ophthalmology. Traditional method such as silicone oil tamponade often causes various complications such as silicone oil emulsification, silicone oil migration, and corneal degeneration. The foldable capsular vitreous body as a novel vitreous substitute combined silicone oil injection into it can stay in the eyeball for a long time without obvious complications.

Project description:PurposeTo investigate the incidence, seasonal variation, and differences among age, sex, and race for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) repair, retinal break (RB) treatment, and posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) in the Intelligent Research in Sight (IRIS) Registry.DesignRetrospective database study.ParticipantsPatients in the IRIS Registry who underwent RRD repair, RB treatment, or cataract surgery (CS) based on Current Procedural Terminology codes and PVD diagnosis based on International Classification of Diseases, Ninth and Tenth Revision, codes.MethodsDaily incidence rates were defined as the ratio of patients who underwent RRD repair or RB treatment and patients with a diagnosis of PVD to the total number of patients followed on a given day within the IRIS Registry. The CS group was included as a comparison for seasonal variation. Rates were stratified by decade of life, sex, and race.Main outcome measuresTime series trends for incidence rates of RRD, RB, and PVD.ResultsA total of 7 115 774 patients received a diagnosis of incident PVD, 237 646 patients underwent RRD repair, and 359 022 patients underwent RB treatment. Also included were 5 940 448 patients who underwent CS. The mean daily incidence for RRD repair, RB treatment, PVD diagnosis, and CS were 0.46 per 100 000 patients, 0.70 per 100 000 patients, 13.90 per 100 000 patients, and 11.80 per 100 000 patients, respectively. Men showed higher incidence of RRD repair and RB treatment than women, whereas women showed higher incidence of PVD diagnosis. Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment incidence was higher in White people compared with other races. Seasonal decreases in PVD, RB treatment, RRD repair, and CS corresponded to national holidays, with larger decreases in winter months. Kaplan-Meier estimates showed that RRD repair and RB treatment typically occurred within 60 days of PVD diagnosis.ConclusionsWithin the IRIS Registry, the highest incidence of RRD was in the 6th and 7th decade of life. There was a higher incidence of RRD repair and RB treatment in men compared with women. The seasonal variation associated with national holidays was less pronounced for RRD repair and RB treatment.
