Purpose To report case of retinitis pigmentosa in association with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Methods An eight year old boy complained of a sudden visual loss. The patient had night blindness, bone spicule-like hyperpigmentation, pale optic disc in both eyes, and the retina was totally detached in the right eye. Results He was initially treated with conventional scleral buckling surgery, then pars plana vitrectomy with silicone tamponade was performed and retinal reattachment was established. After the phacoemulsification combined with silicone oil removal the final visual acuity of counting fingers was obtained. Conclusions The association of retinitis pigmentosa and rhegmatogenous retinal detachment is uncommon in young patients.

With the development of pars plana vitrectomy in the 1970s and pneumatic retinopexy in the 1980s, the primacy of scleral buckling for repair of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) came under challenge. While a degree of consensus exists for certain forms of complex RRD, there remains little agreement concerning the optimal treatment of primary noncomplex RRD. This debate is further muddied by application of adjuvant procedures to supplement the primary surgical approach. This article aims to present the current evidence regarding repair of primary noncomplex RRD. A brief summary of primary surgical approaches—pneumatic retinopexy, scleral buckling, and pars plana vitrectomy—will be presented along with a short discussion on potential adjuvant procedures. The remainder of the article focuses on reported outcomes for the different treatment modalities for primary noncomplex RRD.

Physiological Outcome

Introduction: Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) is a potentially blinding condition. Objective: To evaluate the anatomical and functional outcome of surgery of RRD. Materials and methods: A prospective study of interventional case series was designed including 50 consecutive patients with RRD in a tertiary level eye center in Kathmandu. The patients underwent scleral buckling (SB) or pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) according to the proliferative vitreo-retinopathy (PVR) changes. All the patients had at least 3 months of follow-up. The anatomical and physiological outcome measures were primary retinal reattachment and improvement in visual acuity respectively. The surgery was considered successful when there was attachment of retina after the first surgery. Results: The mean age of these patients at the time of presentation was 46.24 ± 19.82 years. Of 50, sixty-six percent of the patients underwent SB and 34 % underwent PPV. Primary surgical success rate was 88 %. While comparing the initial best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) with the final, 72% had an improvement, 12 % unchanged and 16 % had a deteriorated visual acuity. Conclusion: The visual acuity improves and the anatomical success rate is high in the majority of the patients after surgery for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.

Registry Report

Background/AimTo determine the preoperative ocular factors and surgical methods that led to best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) after pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) or scleral buckling (SB) for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD).MethodsThis was a prospective, nationwide, multicentre, observational study. Data from the Japanese Retina and Vitreous Society registry from 2016 to 2017 were used to determine the association between preoperative clinical factors, surgical procedures and postoperative BCVA at 6 months. Japanese individuals >40 years of age were included. Eyes with proliferative vitreoretinopathy were included. The primary outcome was the percentage of eyes that achieved 20/25 vision.ResultsOf the 3219 registered cases, 2192 met the inclusion criteria (344 SB, 1738 PPV, 110 PPV+SB). Cases with preoperative BCVA (≤0 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) units) had good postoperative BCVA (OR=3.97, CI 2.87 to 5.51). Older age (>70 years), low intraocular pressure (<10 mm Hg), high myopia (<−5 dioptres), multiple retinal breaks (>4), giant retinal tear (>90°), wide retinal detachment (>3 quadrants) and macula-off detachment were associated with less probability of postoperative 20/25 vision (OR=0.39, 0.64, 0.62, 0.60, 0.12, 0.51 and 0.36, respectively). Postoperative BCVA was 0.03±0.23 and 0.10±0.32 logMAR units after SB and PPV, respectively. The percentage of cases that achieved 20/25 vision was not significantly different after PPV or SB if cases that had concurrent cataract surgery were excluded (p=0.251).ConclusionsBetter BCVA in patients with RRD who had undergone PPV was observed. However, if concurrent cataract surgery is not performed, BCVA will be comparable with either PPV or SB.

Pneumatic retinopexy is a minimally invasive procedure for repairing rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. PR is an excellent option in carefully selected patients, but skillful use of indirect ophthalmoscopy and more preoperative time is required for examination and to prepare and educate patients. Although it is associated with reduced morbidity, reduced cost, and faster postoperative rehabilitation compared to pars plana vitrectomy and scleral buckling, it is currently underutilized.

Abstract Background To evaluate the effectiveness of face up position (FUP) following pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and silicone oil injection in cases of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) with multiple peripheral and inferior breaks. Method Thirty-two eyes of 32 patients with RRD due to multiple peripheral breaks were managed with PPV and silicone oil as endotamponade. Postoperatively, all patients were instructed to assume face up (supine) position for at least 10 days. Silicone oil was removed 3 to 6 months postoperatively in eyes with attached retina and the patients were followed up for 6 months. Results Thirty eyes (94%) got a successful attachment of the retina and remained attached after silicone oil removal. One case showed lower redetachment under silicone oil while the other case showed recurrent RRD after silicone oil removal. Conclusion Although postoperative FUP is not a popular one, it is effective in the treatment of RRD with peripheral breaks whatever the number or the distribution of these breaks. This may in some way or another change the traditional trends of postoperative positioning after vitrectomy for RRD.
