Abstract Aim To evaluate the primary anatomical success and visual outcomes in patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) undergoing 25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy (25g PPV) surgery in Pakistan. Method This is a five-year retrospective, interventional cohort study of 418 consecutive patients with RRD who underwent 25g PPV. Surgeries were performed by two experienced surgeons at tertiary care hospitals in Pakistan. Consecutive patients, who underwent 25 g PPV surgery as treatment for RRD between October 2013-October 2018 were included. We excluded patients who had a history of previous retinal surgery or who did not complete the 4-8 weeks primary outcome visit. Data was collected from the patient’s files by using a pro forma. SPSS version 23.0 (IBM SPSS Statistics, Armonk, NY) was used. A p-value of < 0.5 was considered significant. Results We identified 452 patients through coding system of hospitals who underwent 25g PPV surgery between October 2013-October 2018. Secondary retinal surgery and incomplete follow up cases were excluded. A total of 441 patients’ files were reviewed for the study, out of which 418 patients met the criteria for final analysis. Males were in a higher number 284 (67.9 %). The average age was 49±15.8. In our study, 186 (44.4%) patients were phakic at the time of presentation. At 2 months follow up, the primary anatomical success rate was 87.1 %. Conclusions Surgical outcomes of RRD with 25g PPV surgery in our study were similar to the outcomes reported in the developed world. We propose a prospective multicenter national study to prospectively evaluate the risk factors for RRD surgical failure in the Pakistani population.

Актуальность. Несмотря на высокую частоту прилегания сетчатки в результате эндовитреальной хирургии, острота зрения в 60% случаев остается низкой или улучшается незначительно. Цель. Оценка эффективности нейропротектора «Цитофлавин» в улучшении остроты зрения после эндовитреальной хирургии регматогенной отслойки сетчатки. Материал и методы. Основная группа наблюдения представлена 20 пациентами с низким зрительным прогнозом, которые получали препарат «Цитофлавин» в послеоперационном периоде (период тампонады силиконом и после удаления силикона). Контрольная группа наблюдения включала 20 человек с низким зрительным прогнозом, получавших стандартное лечение после операции. Критериями оценки эффективности проводимой терапии явились: МКОЗ, амплитуда прироста (АΔ), показателя микроциркуляции (ПМ, перф. ед.), индекса эффективности микроциркуляции (ИЭМ, отн. ед.) относительно исходных, рассчитанная по формуле. Результаты. Результаты исследования показали, что через 6 мес. после операции у пациентов основной группы по сравнению с контрольной МКОЗ выросла более чем в 2 раза (р<0,05). Также при терапии препаратом «Цитофлавин» отмечена более значимая активация хориоретинального кровотока. АΔ, ПМ и ИЭМ у пациентов основной группы исследования к 6 мес. после операции выросла в 2 раза и более (р<0,05), что подтверждает прямую зависимость зрительных функций от состояния и динамики восстановления хориоретинального кровотока. Выводы. При включении нейропротектора «Цитофлавин» в систему медицинской реабилитации пациентов с низким уровнем зрительного прогноза наблюдается повышение МКОЗ в 2 раза и улучшение циркуляторных показателей хориоретинального кровотока более чем в 2 раза.

Purpose. To study the effectiveness of extrascleral filling (ESF) using endoillumination in the surgical treatment of patients with primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). Material and methods. The material for the study was the data of a comprehensive clinical examination and surgical treatment by ESF method using endoillumination in 17 patients (17 eyes) with RRD. In 7 cases (41%), the macular area was involved in the detachment process. In 5 cases (29.4%), local scleral filling was performed. In the remaining 12 cases (70.6%), the local ESF was supplemented with a circling silicone element. Surgical intervention was supplemented by transscleral drainage of subretinal fluid (SRF) in 10 cases (59%) and pneumatic retinopexy with SF6 gas 50% in 8 cases (48%). Results. In the general group of patients, best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) increased from 0.35 to 0.46. In the subgroup of patients with a detached macular area, the positive dynamics is more pronounced, BCVA increased from 0.1 to 0.28. The progression of proliferative vitreoretinopathy caused the recurrence of retinal detachment in two patients (11.8%). Recurrences were diagnosed after 3 and 5 months, respectively. In both cases, a vitrectomy with tamponade of the vitreous cavity with silicone oil 5000 Cst was performed. The percentage of successful anatomical outcome after the first operation in our study was 82%. The percentage of successful achievement of the final anatomical result was 94%. In two cases, additional injection of SF6 gas into the vitreous cavity was required. Conclusion. This type of surgical treatment is an effective method of surgical treatment of patients with RRD. In our study, the successful anatomical outcome after the first operation was recorded in 82% of patients, which correlates with the data of the authors who also used this method (83–92%). Surgeons who performed surgical treatment using this technique in our study note improved workplace ergonomics when visualizing the fundus using an operating microscope and endoillumination compared with indirect ophthalmoscopy. Other teams of authors came to this conclusion as well. In our study, there were no complications associated with the introduction of a light pipe into the vitreous cavity (iatrogenic crystalline lens injury, endophthalmitis), which indicates the safety of this type of surgical treatment.
