Premacular membranes developing following pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) can cause significant anatomical and functional deficits to the macula. Recent reports showed that postoperative premacular membranes are a localized presentation of macular proliferative vitreoretinopathy (mPVR). Here, we report retrospectively a case series of 5 patients with severe mPVR which developed following uneventful PPV and were followed up to 32 months in the Department of Ophthalmology, Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Center, Jerusalem, between October 2016 and February 2020. All patients underwent primary repair of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) before mPVR developed. Mean best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) at presentation was 20/76 Snellen (0.58 LogMAR). Median duration of the retinal detachment time until surgery was 1.5 days (range 1–21 days). Mean interval time from last normal follow-up exam to diagnosis of mPVR was 19 days (range 10–28). BCVA dropped from a mean of 20/38 Snellen (0.28 LogMAR) prior to mPVR development to 20/166 Snellen (0.92 LogMAR) following its development, recovering to 20/57 Snellen (0.45 LogMAR) after peeling of membranes. Mean central macular thickness measured by optical coherence tomography decreased from 711 to 354 μm postsurgery. In conclusion, short-term mPVR is a different entity from macular pucker in terms of rapid development, structural distortion, and visual compromise. Surgical treatment significantly restores macular function and anatomy.

25 Gauge Vitrectomy

Purpose: The aim of this study is to evaluate visual and anatomic outcomes of 25-gauge vitrectomy with relaxing retinectomies for complex retinal detachment (RD) secondary to proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR). Methods: A single-center, retrospective case series of 44 patients who had undergone a 25-gauge vitrectomy with a relaxing retinectomy for the treatment of combined RD and PVR was performed. Preoperative characteristics, intraoperative techniques, and outcomes were analyzed. The rates of attachment, complications, and visual acuity were analyzed. Institutional review board/ethics committee approval was obtained, and the described research adhered to the tenets of the Declaration of Helsinki. Results: At the final follow-up, 27 eyes (61%) had attachment after 1 surgery, 41 eyes (93%) ultimately had attached retinas, 3 eyes (7%) had hypotony, 3 eyes had become phthisical (7%), and 24 eyes (56%) had improved visual acuity. After stratifying by visual outcomes, 20/400 or better best-corrected visual acuity was not associated with age ( P = .66), RD etiology ( P = .61), preoperative hypotony ( P = .60), nor size of retinectomy ( P = .48). Patients achieving 20/400 vision or better were statistically more likely to be pseudophakic ( P = .024) and have silicone oil removal ( P < .0001). Conclusion: The use of 25-gauge vitrectomy and relaxing retinectomy provides a high rate of reattachment and improved visual acuity.

Purpose: The purpose of this article is to report the characteristics of patients with retinoschisis-related retinal detachments and to summarize their clinical outcomes after surgical repair. Methods: A single-center interventional case series of 37 eyes from 35 patients who underwent surgery to repair a retinoschisis-related retinal detachment between January 1, 2009 and January 1, 2017 was conducted. Results: The mean ± SD age at the time of the first retinal detachment repair was 63 ± 13 years. As the initial surgery, scleral buckle was performed in 14 eyes, scleral buckle + vitrectomy in 14 eyes, and vitrectomy in 9 eyes. The single-operation success rate for the entire cohort was 65% (24/37), and the final anatomic success rate was 97% (36/37). Among eyes requiring more than 1 surgery, 46% (6/13) developed proliferative vitreoretinopathy. Best-corrected visual acuity improved or remained stable after 1 year of follow-up in the majority (n = 27, 73%) of eyes. The mean (SD) number of surgeries required to achieve the final anatomic and visual result was 1.8 (1.2) for all eyes (range, 1-5 surgeries). Conclusion: The single-surgery success rate for retinoschisis-related retinal detachments was lower than that reported for typical rhegmatogenous retinal detachments, and the incidence of proliferative vitreoretinopathy was higher. When counseling patients with retinoschisis-related retinal detachments, it is important to caution them that they may require more than 1 surgery to achieve anatomic success.

Introduction: The aim of this study is to evaluate the incidence and characteristics of retinal detachment patients with proliferative vitreoretinopathy. Methods: Retrospective review of medical record from primary retinal detachment (RD) patients with proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) between 2013 and 2017 at Outpatient Department of Ophthalmology, Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia. Result: : The number of RD patients with PVR at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital in 2013-2017 was 80 patients (21%), consisting of 59 men and 21 women with mean of  age was 47.5 ± 14.3 years. The characteristics of the subjects were phakic 72.5%, aphakic 1.25%, high myopia 23.75%, history of trauma 18.75% and affected to right eye 60%. Retinal characteristics were break conditions in the retina (located at superotemporal  (34%), horseshoe tear (56%), and single break (60%)), macula off (90%), area of detachments were 4 quadrants (43,75%),  PVR conditions were grade B PVR (45%), mean duration of RD was 156 days, mean  length of surgery waiting list was 61.1 days. The majority of treatment types were vitrectomy (70,4%), majority of tamponade using silicone oil (59.3%), majority of pre-operative and post-operative visual acuity were less than 3 meters counting finger, pre-operative (91.25%) , post-operative 1 month (76%) and 6 months (52.5%), and the majority of post-operative retinal reattachment were 77.3%. Conclusion: The results of this study indicate the number of RD patients with PVR was lower than previous studies. Various results of patient characteristics can be used as guidelines for ophthalmologists in determining actions and explaining the prognosis of the disease. Further research with a larger sample size and prospective methods will be better able to provide better results. Keywords: retinal detachment, proliferative vitreoretinopathy, characteristic pvr

Purpose. To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the simultaneous use of short-term perfluoro-n-octane (PFO) with perfluoropropane (C3F8) gas to achieve retinal reattachment in eyes with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) with proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) grade C and multiple retinal breaks including inferior breaks. Design. This is a prospective interventional case series study. Patients and Methods. The study was a prospective noncomparative interventional study. It included 30 eyes of 30 patients who had RRD with PVR grade C and multiple retinal breaks including inferior tears attending the vitreoretinal unit of Minia University Hospital, Egypt. The mean age was 50.2 ± 10.63 years; 18 patients were females and 12 were males. Combined phacoemulsification and 23 G pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with double retinal tamponade by C3F8 and PFO were done, and PFO was removed in 10–14 days. The patients were followed up for one year. The primary outcome was to achieve successful retinal reattachment, and the secondary outcomes were visual improvement and occurrence of complications. Results. Successful retinal reattachment was obtained in 28 eyes out of 30 (93.3%), and 2 eyes (6.7%) had recurrent RD. Best-corrected distance visual acuity (BCDVA) in logMAR was significantly improved from baseline 1.74 ± 0.05 to 0.93 ± 0.04, 0.82 ± 0.05, 0.80 ± 0.07, and 0.73 ± 0.055 at follow-up visits 3, 6, and 9 months and one year, respectively ( P ≤ 0.001 ). There were no serious ocular complications recorded. Conclusions. The results of this study indicated that primary vitrectomy with simultaneous use of both C3F8 and short-term PFO as retinal tamponades was effective and safe in the management of complex cases of RRD with PVR grade C and inferior breaks. This trial is registered with NCT04168255.

Aim. To report outcomes of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) in pediatric retinal detachment (RD) with proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR), complications, factors influencing the final anatomical and functional results. Methods. Retrospective consecutive case series of 14 eyes. Average postoperative follow-up period was 34 months. Results. Mean age of patients was 10 years; eleven patients (79%) were males. The most common etiology was trauma (57%), the second—myopia (36%) and one case of uveitis (7%). At the day of presentation, the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was worse than hand motion (50%); macula was detached in 86% of cases. Simultaneous PPV and phacoemulsification with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation were performed in 12 cases (86%). The most common endotamponade during PPV was silicone oil (93%). Anatomic reattachment was accomplished in 86% of cases. Final BCVA was equal or better than 0.1 in 50% of patients. The postoperative complications were found in 5 eyes (36%). Conclusion. Complete PPV was allowed for anatomically reattached retina and preserved vision in pediatric complex RD with PVR. However, visual outcomes were not satisfactory. Preserving vision in children with RD is of great importance for their future motor and intellectual development. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03208205.

Background: Retinal detachment (RD) following ocular trauma often results in guarded visual prognosis and sometimes leads to loss of the eye. With the advent of microincisional vitrectomy surgery and the development of surgical techniques, the management of ocular trauma has been transformed. Case Presentation: A 34-year-old man sustained an open globe injury from fragmented glass at work. He received primary repair and another follow-up surgery 9 days later, including vitrectomy, silicone oil tamponade, and lensectomy for RD and traumatic cataract at another medical center. However, his retina was totally detached and completely curled up in a roll with choroid on display when he was seen by us 1 month later. He was managed with vigilant and patient peeling and unfolding of the retina using a 23-gauge forceps and silicone oil tamponade, and achieved anatomical success and preservation of his eye at 6-month follow-up. Conclusions: This report demonstrates that even in cases which appear to be hopeless at presentation, the surgeon’s perseverance and surgical technique can salvage an eye that may otherwise be phthisical. It also encourages retinal surgeons to use microincisional vitrectomy to manage severe traumatic RD.

Abstract Purpose: The aim of this study was to describe the anatomical outcomes of Brilliant Blue G (BBG)–assisted extensive internal limiting membrane peeling (eILMp) for proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) under three-dimensional (3D) visualization. Methods: This study constitutes a retrospective case series conducted in a private retina practice, of 14 consecutive patients (14 eyes) with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) complicated by PVR who underwent pars plana vitrectomy between January 2019 and January 2020. The internal limiting membrane (ILM) was selectively stained with BBG, and perspectives were enhanced with a 3D visualization system. We peeled off the ILM beyond the vascular arcades up to the periphery. The main outcome was anatomical success, defined as persistent retinal reattachment after removal of the silicone oil tamponade.Results: Anatomic success was achieved with a single surgery in 11 of 14 (78.6%) eyes, and eventual success was achieved in all eyes. The mean patient follow-up time was 12.3 months (range, 7–16 months). The mean preoperative logMAR BCVA was 2.09 (range, 2.8–1.3), which decreased to 1.54 (range, 2.8–0.6) at the last follow-up. Conclusion: This technique allowed the creation of a cleavage plane underlying the PVR membranes that facilitated its complete ILM removal, thereby reducing the risk of recurrence of retinal detachment.

Abstract Introduction Esophageal atresia (EA) is associated with duodenal atresia (DA) in 3 to 6% of cases. The management of this association is controversial and literature is scarce on the topic. Materials and Methods We aimed to (1) review the patients with EA + DA treated at our institution and (2) systematically review the English literature, including case series of three or more patients. Results Cohort study: Five of seventy-four patients with EA had an associated DA (6.8%). Four of five cases (80%) underwent primary repair of both atresia, one of them with gastrostomy placement (25%). One of five cases (20%) had a delayed diagnosis of DA. No mortality has occurred. Systematic Review: Six of six-hundred forty-five abstract screened were included (78 patients). Twenty-four of sixty-eight (35.3%) underwent primary correction of EA + DA, and 36/68 (52.9%) underwent staged correction. Nine of thirty-six (25%) had a missed diagnosis of DA. Thirty-six of sixty-eight underwent gastrostomy placement. Complications were observed in 14/36 patients (38.9 ± 8.2%). Overall mortality reported was 41.0 ± 30.1% (32/78 patients), in particular its incidence was 41.7 ± 27.0% after a primary treatment and 37.0 ± 44.1% following a staged approach. Conclusion The management of associated EA and DA remains controversial. It seems that the staged or primary correction does not affect the mortality. Surgeons should not overlook DA when correcting an EA.
