AbstractPurpose:To evaluate the outcome of scleral buckling surgery using a wide angle non-contact viewing system and chandelier endoillumination for per-operative fundus visualization in patients with non-complex rhegmatogenous retinal detachments.Materials and Methods:This was a prospective, interventional study carried out at the Department of Ophthalmology, Mayo Hospital Lahore over a period of six months. Non-probability convenience sampling technique was employed. Fifteen eyes of fifteen pati-ents underwent modified scleral buckling procedure for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment using a 25G Awh Chandelier (inserted into the sclera through the pars plana) and wide angle viewing system to view the fundus intraoperatively instead of the conventional Indirect Ophthalmoscope.Results:The mean age of the patients in this study group was 41.9 12.4 years. Out of fifteen patients, 13 had flat retinas postoperatively. Two patients had to undergo pars plana vitrectomy with silicone oil tamponade due to development of retinal detachment secon-dary to PVR.Conclusion:Modified scleral buckling with the con-current use of a chandelier light and wide angle viewing system provides an easier and more convenient means of visualizing the fundus under panoramic viewing conditions intraoperatively.Key Words:Wide angle viewing system. Retinal detachment. Scleral buckling. Endoillumination.

Vitrectomy Surgery

A 21-year-old woman developed simultaneous rhegmatogenous retinal detachment after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) in both eyes. She underwent pars plana vitrectomy surgery combined with endolaser photocoagulation and silicone oil tamponade in the right eye. A week later, pneumatic retinopexy was done in the left eye. As the retinal tear did not seal, 360° scleral buckling surgery was performed and retina was attached. Bilateral simultaneous rhegmatogenous retinal detachment after LASIK for correction of myopia can be a serious complication. Patients should be informed about the possibility of this complication.

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.

Purpose: To assess the safety and efficacy of hybrid vitreous surgery combining active 23-G ports with a sutured 20-G 6-mm infusion cannula for performing vitrectomy in endophthalmitis and trauma. Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of 10 eyes with endophthalmitis and 10 eyes with trauma requiring vitreous surgery, having corneal clarity suitable for vitrectomy and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) greater than or equal to light perception. All patients underwent hybrid 20/23-G vitrectomy. Intraoperative notes were analyzed for peroperative complications. The BCVA and retinal status at 3 months were analyzed. Results: In the endophthalmitis group, patients ranged from 5 to 85 years of age and showed varied etiologies. Retinal detachment was present in 5 eyes, which received silicone oil tamponade. Mean preoperative logMAR visual acuity (VA) was 2.29 ± 0.45, which improved to 1.10 ± 0.72 at 3 months postoperatively (p<0.001). Trauma cases ranged from 21 to 75 years of age. Retinal detachment was present in 9 out of 10 eyes, all of which received silicone oil tamponade. Preoperative logMAR VA was 2.26 ± 0.71, which improved to 1.33 ± 0.50 postoperatively (p<0.001). At 3 months postsurgery, the retina was attached in all eyes in both groups. Conclusions: The longer sutured 20-G cannula was easier to visualize through fibrin, exudates, and hemorrhage and did not slip out or enter the suprachoroidal space in any of our cases. The 23-G active ports and vitrectomy cutter enhanced safety and efficacy. Hybrid vitrectomy enabled safe surgery in these difficult cases.

AIM: To evaluate macular microvasculature changes in eyes after pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and intraocular silicone oil (SO) tamponade for macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). METHODS: Totally 19 eyes (19 patients) with macula-off RRD who underwent PPV and intraocular SO tamponade were retrospectively reviewed. The parafoveal superficial capillary plexus (SCP) vessel density (VD), deep capillary plexus (DCP) VD, choriocapillaris plexus (CCP) VD, and foveal macular thickness were evaluated using OCTA throughout 16wk postoperatively. The values of healthy fellow eyes were used as control. RESULTS: The parafoveal SCP, DCP, and CCP VDs were significant increased over time in RRD eyes during the 12wk postoperatively, then decreased at 16wk postoperatively (all P<0.01). The ratios of RRD eyes and fellow healthy eyes (r/f ratios) of the SCP and DCP VDs were lower than those of the CCP VD postoperatively (all P<0.05). There were not significant differences in the r/f ratios between SCP and DCP VDs postoperatively (all P>0.05). CONCLUSION: The parafoveal SCP, DCP, and CCP VDs gradually recover over time after PPV surgery with SO tamponade. Long-time SO tamponade might decrease postoperative macular VDs. Compared to parafoveal CCP VD, the parafoveal SCP and DCP VDs were more vulnerable in RRD eyes postoperatively.

Introduction. Choroidal coloboma is a congenital defect caused by an inadequate closure of embryonic fissure. About 40% of the eyes with the choroidal coloboma (CHC) develop the retinal detachment (RD). It is extremely difficult to manage these cases due to the lack of pigmentation at the site of choroidal coloboma. Outline of Cases. This is a case series of five patients with CHC and RD who were successfully operated using one of two different surgical techniques: pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) + silicone oil internal tamponade and/or scleral buckle with encircling band with laser photocoagulation (SB+EB+LPC) around the coloboma. The purpose of this paper is to present how to successfully handle patients with CHC, who have concurrent retinal detachment in the same eye and to compare two different techniques and indications for the predominant use of one of them in a specific case. Conclusion. Both surgical techniques can be applied with equal success in the operation of retinal detachment in eyes with the chorioidal coloboma. Which one will be used depends only of the posterior segment of eye findings. We use scleral buckling in cases with RD accompanied by CHC when the peripheral break is evident and there are no breaks in the coloboma itself. We also perform, 2-3 days after surgery, laser burns around the coloboma, which is our modification of this technique. In all other cases it is indicated to perform PPV+silicon oil internal tamponade.
