PATCHING RETINAL BREAKS WITH HEALAFLOW IN 27-GAUGE VITRECTOMY FOR THE TREATMENT OF RHEGMATOGENOUS RETINAL DETACHMENT.

ABSTRACT: PURPOSE:To report the surgical outcomes of primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) repaired by 27-gauge pars plana vitrectomy combined with Healaflow patch and air tamponade. METHODS:In an initial vitro experiment, we observed and compared the dissolution and displacement of the dispersion spots of 0.05-mL Healaflow and sodium hyaluronate. We then performed a prospective, interventional cohort study on 38 eyes in 37 consecutive patients with primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. All eyes underwent pars plana vitrectomy combined with Healaflow patch and air tamponade; the postoperative period did not involve prone positioning. The primary and final anatomical attachment rate, best-corrected visual acuity, and intraoperative and postoperative complications were evaluated. RESULTS:In the in vitro experiment, the viscoelastic Healaflow remained adherent with no change in the size of the area; however, the control dissolved completely in the balance solution. The patient study included 16 women (43.2%) and 21 men (56.8%) (mean age, 59.5 ± 9.5 years; mean follow-up period, 8.9 ± 3.8 months). A single break was present in 21 (55.3%) and 2 to 5 breaks in 17 cases (44.8%). The macula was involved in 25 (65.8%) and attached in 13 cases (34.2%) intraoperatively. Initial reattachment was achieved in 37 (97.4%) and final reattachment in 38 cases (100%). In one case (2.6%), the macula redetached because of failure of the chorioretinal scar to develop around the treated break. Mean preoperative and postoperative best-corrected visual acuities were 1.02 ± 0.82 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (median Snellen acuity: 20/125, range: 20/20,000-20/20) and 0.23 ± 0.17 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (median Snellen acuity: 20/32, range: 20/100-20/20), respectively (P < 0.001). Intraocular pressure was elevated transiently in 28 eyes (73.7%). There were no other intraoperative complications or postoperative scleral incision leakage. CONCLUSION:A 27-gauge pars plana vitrectomy combined with Healaflow patch, and air tamponade results in a high reattachment rate in the treatment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Thus, patients can benefit from early visual recovery and less complications.

Project description:Purpose:To investigate the characteristics of silicone oil (SO) emulsification after vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment and their possible correlations with clinical factors. Methods:The first 2?mL of washing out fluid after SO removal was collected, and used for the measurement of the size and number of SO droplets using a Multisizer® 3 Coulter counter (Beckman Coulter, USA). The correlations between SO droplets and clinical factors were analyzed. Results:A total of 38 patients (23 males, 15 females) who underwent primary PPV with SO injection for RRD and whose retina stayed attached for ?3 months after SO removal were included in the study. The average number of oil droplets was 1.96?×?106?±?3.95?×?106/mL (range 0.17?×?106 to 21.71?×?106/ml), and 80.8% (range 64.23%-99.07%) of the droplets were 1-2??m in diameter. The total number of emulsified SO droplets was not correlated with any clinical factor (all P > 0.05). When the emulsified SO droplets were divided into groups by their diameter, multiple linear regression revealed that age was negatively correlated with the numbers of 5-7-?m in diameter. The total number of emulsified SO droplets was not correlated with any clinical factor (all ?m in diameter. The total number of emulsified SO droplets was not correlated with any clinical factor (all P > 0.05). When the emulsified SO droplets were divided into groups by their diameter, multiple linear regression revealed that age was negatively correlated with the numbers of 5-7-?m in diameter. The total number of emulsified SO droplets was not correlated with any clinical factor (all ?m in diameter. The total number of emulsified SO droplets was not correlated with any clinical factor (all P > 0.05). When the emulsified SO droplets were divided into groups by their diameter, multiple linear regression revealed that age was negatively correlated with the numbers of 5-7. Conclusion:Using a Multisizer® Coulter counter, we successfully determined the number and size of SO droplets after emulsification. We found that the number of 5-12-?m-diameter droplets was higher in younger-age patients and was higher in patients using antiglaucoma eyedrops.?m in diameter. The total number of emulsified SO droplets was not correlated with any clinical factor (all.

Project description:The aim of this study was to compare changes in refraction following lens-sparing vitrectomy between patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) and epiretinal membrane (ERM) and to investigate factors associated with the change in refraction.We reviewed medical records of 49 eyes of 49 patients with RRD (53.6?±?7.8 years, mean?±?standard deviation) and 24 eyes of 24 patients with ERM (50.9?±?15.7 years) who underwent lens-sparing vitrectomy. Spherical equivalent refractive power was evaluated before and up to 18 months after surgery. The relationship between the change in refraction and several parameters was evaluated.A significant progressive myopic shift in refractive power was observed after vitrectomy in operated RRD and ERM eyes (P?<?0.001, P?=?0.016, respectively), with no significant difference in fellow eyes. The refraction values observed at ?3 and ?12 months following vitrectomy were significantly different as compared with those observed at baseline in the RRD group (P?<?0.001) and the ERM group (P?<?0.05), respectively. The change in refraction between the RRD and ERM groups was significant (P?=?0.030). The multiple linear regression analysis showed that only age was significantly correlated with the change in refraction in RRD (P?=?0.018) and ERM (P?<?0.001) groups. The change in refraction was significantly and positively correlated with age in RRD (r?=?-0.461, P?=?0.001) and ERM (r?=?-0.687, P?<?0.001) groups. Following lens-sparing vitrectomy, cataract surgery was performed on 30 eyes after 0.89?±?0.26 years in the RRD group and on 10 eyes after 1.11?±?0.14 years in the ERM group; there was a significant difference in time to cataract surgery between the groups (P?=?0.007). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis demonstrated that there was a significant difference in the rate of cataract surgeries between the RRD and ERM groups (P?=?0.022).Following lens-sparing vitrectomy for RRD and ERM, a progressive myopic shift in refraction owing to nuclear sclerosis was observed. Core vitrectomy itself would cause a myopic shift of refraction. The only risk factor associated with cataract progression following lens-sparing vitrectomy is age for both types of patients.
