Filter by:Purpose To evaluate the efficacy of perfluorocarbone liquids (PFCLs) for tamponading lower retinal breaks to achieve retinal reattachment in eyes of retinal detachment with proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) and inferior breaks. Patients and methods The study was prospective non comparative interventional study. It included thirty eyes of 30 patients suffering from retinal detachment with proliferative vitreoretinopathy and inferior breaks attending the ophthalmology department at Minia University Hospital. The mean age was 50.2± 10.63 years, 18 females and 12 males. Double retinal tamponade procedure were done and the patients were followed for one year. The primary outcome was to achieve successful retinal reattachment and the secondary outcome is to achieve improvement in the postoperative visual acuity.
Internal limiting membrane peeling is performed during vitrectomy for macular diseases such as macular holes, macular edema due to diabetic retinopathy and retinal vein occlusion. The incidence of epiretinal membrane formation after vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous detachment has been reported to range from 4.4% to 12.8%. In this study, the efficacy and safety of internal limiting membrane peeling will be studied in vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment and if it is essential to peel it in those cases or not.
To compare the efficacy and safety outcomes of scleral buckling (SB) and drainage-injection-pneumoretinopexy (DIP), a modified pneumatic retinopexy technique, in which, before injecting the gas, the drainage of the subretinal fluid is performed with a simultaneous injection of balanced salt solution (BSS) in the vitreous chamber, for the treatment of severe superior bullous rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (SBRD).
Scleral depression is an important technique used to examine the peripheral retina but often causes patient discomfort. The goal of this study was to compare levels of discomfort during scleral depression with a Schocket scleral depressor and cotton tipped applicator.
This is a prospective cohort study, comparing the functional outcomes and the retinal displacement rates between two techniques for primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment repair: Pars Plana Vitrectomy (PPV) and Pneumatic Retinopexy (PnR).
This study aims to study the incidence of retinal detachment in the nearsighted myopic after phakoemulsification lens surgery and use of posterior chamber foldable soft implants with a follow-up of 5 years and preliminary results at 3 years.
The aim of this study was to determine whether inverted ILM peeling technique could contribute to high reattachment and closure rates after vitrectomy in patients with myopic macular hole retinal detachment (MHRD) in comparison to no ILM peeling. This retrospective study will include 40 patients presenting by myopic macular hole retinal detachment. Exclusion criteria will include history of trauma, choroidal neovascularization, and the presence of a peripheral retinal break or proliferative vitreoretinopathy before the initial surgery. Subjects will be divided into 2 groups; Group 1 will include 20 patients that were treated by vitrectomy without ILM peeling and postoperative gas or silicone oil tamponade with or without cataract surgery. Group 2 will include 20 patients that were treated by vitrectomy with ILMflap technique and postoperative gas or silicone oil tamponade with or without cataract surgery.
Retinal detachment is a major cause of blindness, particularly among contemporary Asian populations due to the high prevalence of myopia. Without timely treatment, retinal detachment invariably results in blindness. As the only effective treatment is surgery, much effort has been invested to enhancing surgical outcome of retinal detachment repair. Advances in new instrumentations, viewing systems and refined surgical techniques have all contributed to improved rate of retinal re-attachment (anatomical outcome). Nevertheless, successful re-attachment of the retina after surgery does not always restore vision (visual outcome), especially when retinal detachment involves the macula ("macula-off" retinal detachment). The reason for poor visual outcome is believed to be due to apoptosis of photoreceptors, which may occur early and rapidly after the onset of retinal detachment. Neuroprotection has therefore been considered a valid strategy to improve visual outcome of retinal detachment surgery. Lutein is a promising potent neuroprotective agent for the retina, and has been shown in preliminary clinical and laboratory studies that it could salvage photorecepters in retinal detachment. We hypothesize that oral intake of lutein soon after onset of retinal detachment could prevent photoreceptor neurons from dying and thus limit the loss of vision. To test such hypothesis, we propose to conduct a double-masked, randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of lutein as an adjuvant therapy to improve visual outcome for surgical repair of primary rhematogenous retinal detachment involving the macula in Asian Singaporeans. The potential clinical and scientific significance of this trial is clear. It may provide first evidence that pharmacological neuroprotection can be used as an effective therapeutic modality in the clinical management of retinal detachment, and result in a paradigm shift in clinical practice, ultimately leading to better visual outcome and quality of life for patients undertaking surgical repair of retinal detachment.
To examine morphological and functional results after pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with SF6 gas tamponade due to macula-on and macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) during six months of the follow-up.
Background : Surgery is needed in order to flatten and position a detached retina onto the choroid, to allow sealing of the tears and to prevent or reverse vision loss. In case of complex retinal detachment vitrectomies followed by ocular endotamponade - non-solid implants used in ophthalmology - is the most common treatment. Despite several options used by surgeons were not entirely satisfactory, no innovation were marketed in the ocular endotamponade field since decades. Purpose : Regarding comparative physico-chemical properties of medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) with current tamponading agents (silicone oil or gases), it will be proposed to evaluate the MCT as an ocular endotamponade product.
