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.

Aim. To compare the anatomic and visual outcomes of 25-gauge (25G), and 27-gauge (27G) transconjunctival sutureless pars plana vitrectomy (TSV) for the management of primary rhegmatogeneous retinal detachment (RRD).Design. A retrospective nonrandomized clinical trial.Methods. A retrospective comparative analysis of 62 consecutive eyes from 62 patients with 6 months of follow-up was performed.Results. Thirty-two patients underwent 25G TSV, and 30 patients underwent 27G TSV for the treatment of primary RRD. There was no significant difference in baseline demographic and preoperative ocular characteristics between the two groups. The initial and final anatomical success rates were 93.8% and 100% in 25G TSV and 96.7% and 100% in 27G TSV, respectively (p=1andp=1, resp.). Preoperative best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) (logMAR) was 0.44 ± 0.69 and 0.38 ± 0.61 for 25G and 27G TSV, respectively (p=0.73). The final follow-up BCVA was 0.07 ± 0.25 and −0.02 ± 0.17 for 25G and 27G TSV, respectively (p=0.16). The final BCVA was significantly better than the preoperative BCVA in both groups (p=0.02andp=0.002, resp.). Preoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) (mmHg) was 13.0 ± 3.5 in 25G TSV and 14.3 ± 2.8 in 27G TSV (p=0.11). IOP did not statistically significantly change in both groups during the follow-up period (p=0.63andp=0.21, resp.).Conclusion. The 27G TSV system is safe and useful for RRD treatment as 25G TSV.

Purpose: To compare long-term clinical outcomes of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) combined with intraoperative 360° laserpexy and pars plana vitrectomy combined with scleral encircling for the treatment of primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD).Methods: This retrospective, comparative case study included 70 patients who had at least 1 year of follow-up after vitrectomy for primary uncomplicated RRD from 2015 to 2019. The patients were divided into two groups. Group I included 34 patients who underwent PPV + 360° laserpexy (LP), while group II included 36 patients who underwent PPV + scleral encircling (SE). Main outcome measures were the anatomical success rate, the functional success rate, final best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), and the incidence of post-operative complications. We also examined the long-term changes in axial length, corneal curvature, and refractive error before and after surgery.Results: LP and SE groups showed no significant differences with respect to the primary anatomical success rate (97.05% and 94.44%, respectively; p = 0.592) or the functional success rate (BCVA ≥ 20/40 at final follow-up; 82.35% and 77.78%, respectively; p = 0.635). Detachment reoccurred in three cases (one in the LP group and two in the SE group) because of proliferative vitreoretinopathy; both cases in the SE group had successful anatomical re-attachment after repeating the PPV procedure. Complications included post-operative epiretinal membrane and cystic macular edema, as well as increased intraocular pressure.Conclusions: Primary vitrectomy combined with 360° laserpexy has effectiveness similar to vitrectomy combined with scleral encircling in patients with RRD in long-term clinical outcomes.

Purpose To assess the occurrence of peripheral vitreoschisis-induced vitreous cortex remnants (p-VCRs) in primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RD) and investigate whether the presence of p-VCRs results in a greater risk of RD recurrence, secondary to Proliferative Vitreoretinopathy (PVR) development after pars plana vitrectomy (PPV). Methods Patients who underwent PPV for primary rhegmatogenous RD between January 2016 and December 2018 were included. The presence of residual p-VCRs was confirmed intraoperatively using triamcinolone acetonide (TA). Patients with p-VCRs were divided into two groups: Group A comprised of patients who underwent PPV without p-VCR removal, while Group B included patients who underwent PPV with p-VCR removal. Results Four hundred-thirteen eyes with evidence of p-VCR were analyzed. Two-hundred-twenty-three eyes underwent PPV without VCR removal (Group A), while 190 eyes underwent PPV with p-VCR removal (Group B). Primary anatomical success was 91.5% in the Group A and 95.4% in the group B. Retinal re-detachment due to PVR occurred in 17 (7.6%) eyes in Group A and in four (2.1%) eyes in Group B within the first 3 months (p  =  0.01). Among group A, in 11 eyes, there was a diffuse posterior PVR grade C, while six eyes were focal PVR grade C. In Group B, we observed four retinal re-detachment due to focal PVR grade C. Conclusion The presence of p-VCRs seems to be associated with a higher incidence of PVR development and might also result in more complex RD recurrence, this suggests the need for more aggressive VCRs removal during the first surgery.

Abstract Background The recurrence of retinal detachment (RD) following rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) is a relatively common complication that threatens vision and needs further surgery. The purpose of this study is to investigate the risk factors and visual outcomes of recurrent RD following pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for primary RRD.Methods This was a retrospective follow-up of 343 eyes that underwent initial PPV surgery for primary RRD. Patients were divided into a recurrence group and a reattachment group. The main outcome measures included the causative factors, visual outcomes of RD recurrence, and the perioperative factors most affecting the recurrence of RD.Results After retinal reattachment, we observed recurrence of RD after PPV for primary RRD in 42 out of 343 eyes (12.2%) during the follow-up period. Most recurrence (69%) occurred within 6 months after surgery. Univariate analysis showed that the primary risk factor significantly associated with recurrent RD was the presence of proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) ≥ Grade C ( P = 0.003). Logistic regression analysis showed that a PVR ≥ Grade C (odds ration [OR]: 9.421, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.432 - 56.39; P =0.020) was a significant predictor for the development of recurrent RD. The recurrence of RD resulted in a significant decline in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) at the last follow-up visit compared with the reattachment group ( P =0.000). Eyes with PVR prior to primary surgery or at the diagnosis of re-detachment showed a worse final BCVA.Conclusions The presence of PVR ≥ Grade C was the predominant risk factor for the recurrence of RD. PVR prior to primary surgery, or at the diagnosis of re-detachment, limited the recovery of final visual acuity.

PurposeTo review a series of highly myopic eyes with retinal detachment undergoing pars plana vitrectomy with autologous internal limiting membrane (ILM) flap placed over posterior retinal breaks located in areas of choroidal atrophy.MethodsRetrospective review of 13 consecutive patients receiving pars plana vitrectomy with ILM flap over causative breaks, compared with 19 controls receiving the same surgery with ILM peeling but no ILM flap. Main outcome measures included anatomical success rate, visual acuity, number of surgeries and the rate of silicone oil removal.ResultsPatients in the ILM group required 2.08±0.37 interventions versus 2.58±0.75 in the control group (p=0.037). One (1/13; 7.6%) patient in the ILM group required additional unplanned surgery versus 8/19 (42.10%) in the control group (p=0.038). Final anatomical success rate defined as attached retina after silicone oil (SiO) removal was 13/13 in the I-ILM group and 14/19 (73.6%) in the control group (p=0.052). No patients (0/13) in the I-ILM group retained SiO at the end of follow-up versus 4/19 (21.1%) patients in the control group (p=0.061). Best-corrected visual acuity at the end of follow-up was logMAR 0.65±0.36 (20/91 Snellen) in the ILM group and logMAR 0.89±0.44 (20/158 Snellen) in the control group (p=0.20).ConclusionAutologous ILM may help seal posterior retinal breaks and improve the surgical prognosis of retinal detachment due to breaks located over areas of choroidal atrophy within the myopic staphyloma.

Methods This was a retrospective follow-up of 343 eyes that underwent initial PPV surgery for primary RRD. Patients were divided into a recurrence group and a reattachment group. The main outcome measures included causative factors, visual outcomes related to the recurrence of RD, and the perioperative factors most affecting the recurrence of RD. Results After retinal reattachment, we observed RD recurrence after PPV for primary RRD in 42 out of 343 eyes (12.2%) during the follow-up period. Most causes of recurrence (69%) occurred within 6 months of surgery. Univariate analysis showed that the presence of proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) ≥ Grade C was significantly associated with recurrent RD (P = 0.003). Logistic regression analysis further showed that a PVR ≥ Grade C (odds ratio [OR]: 9.421; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.432 - 56.39; P = 0.020) was a significant predictor for the development of recurrent RD. Compared with the reattachment group, the recurrence group exhibited a significant decline in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) at the last follow-up visit (P = 0.000). Eyes with PVR prior to primary surgery, or at the diagnosis of re-detachment, showed a worse final BCVA. Conclusions Our analysis shows that the predominant risk factor for the recurrence of RD is a PVR ≥ Grade C. PVR prior to primary surgery, or at the diagnosis of re-detachment, was also shown to limit the recovery of final visual acuity.

AIM: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of a minimally restricted face-down postoperative positioning following pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with gas tamponade for primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). METHODS: Patients with primary RRD treated with PPV and gas tamponade and followed up for at least 6mo were selected for the study. All phakic eyes underwent simultaneous cataract surgery. The patients were required to be in a postoperative position that prevented downward flow of retinal tears. Patients with macular detachment were positioned face-down for only a couple of hours. The patients were assessed for preoperative and postoperative best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), anatomical retinal reattachment rate, and postoperative complications. RESULTS: In total, 40 eyes of 39 patients with primary RRD were included in the study. A single tear was present in 30 eyes (75.0%), multiple retinal tears were present in nine eyes (22.5%), and oral dialysis was present in one eye (2.5%). The anatomical success rate was 90.0% (36 cases) after the primary surgery, and the final anatomical success rate was 100%. The BCVA improved significantly (P<0.001) from 0.75 logarithm angle of resolution (logMAR) preoperatively to 0.12 logMAR at the final visit. Postoperative complications included intraocular pressure elevation (≥25 mm Hg) in 11 patients (27.5%), fibrin formation in two patients (5.0%), pupillary capture of the intraocular lens in two patients (5.0%), and posterior synechia in one patient (2.5%). CONCLUSION: A minimally restricted face-down and flexible postoperative positioning after PPV and gas tamponade for primary RRD is effective and safe.

Abstract Purpose: Lens-sparing pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) is often followed by cataract development. However, there have been few prospective studies evaluating the timing of cataract progression and potential associated factors.Methods: This was an observational study conducted at the Ophthalmology Unit of the University Hospital of Parma (Parma, Italy). Patients presenting with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD), who underwent PPV with preservation of the lens, were examined according to a scheduled follow-up (3, 6 and 12 months after PPV) and then preoperatively when cataract extraction surgery (CES) was indicated, or at the end of the study follow-up period (May 2021). The primary outcome was the interval between PPV and CES indication (based on predefined refractive criteria).Results: A total of 36 eyes of 36 patients (mean age: 52 ± 10 years) were included in the study. Nineteen eyes (53%) were indicated for CES a median of 14.5 months (IQR: 12.0–24.8) after PPV. The nuclear and posterior subcapsular forms of cataract progressed significantly starting at 6 months after PPV. Older age at the time of PPV, silicone oil tamponade and RRD without macular involvement were significantly and independently associated with an earlier indication for CES. Conclusions: Patient age and the use of silicone oil tamponade must be taken into consideration when evaluating the risk of cataract development after PPV.
