(1) Background: We evaluated macular ganglion cell layer–inner plexiform layer (GCL-IPL) thickness in patients with primary macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) treated with scleral buckling (SB) or pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). (2) Methods: In this retrospective, observational study, we reviewed the medical records of patients undergoing SB or PPV surgery for macula-off RRD. SD-OCT was performed at three and 12 months after surgery. The central and parafoveal GCL-IPL thicknesses in treated eyes were compared with those of healthy fellow eyes. OCT measurements between the SB and PPV group were also compared using the analysis of covariance. (3) Results: Seventy-one eyes of 71 patients with a mean age of 61.2 ± 11.7 years were included. The parafoveal GCL-IPL thickness of the PPV group was significantly reduced, with respect to fellow eyes, at three and 12 months (p < 0.01). After adjusting for age, axial length, spherical equivalent, RD extent, preoperative intraretinal cysts, duration of symptoms and postoperative IOP, the parafoveal GCL-IPL thickness in the PPV group was significantly reduced with respect to the SB group, both at three and 12 months (F = 11.45, p = 0.001 and F = 12.37, p = 0.001, respectively). (4) Conclusions: In conclusion, the GCL-IPL is reduced in thickness in eyes with macula-off RRD treated with vitrectomy and is significantly thinner compared to eyes undergoing scleral buckling surgery.

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.

Purpose. To investigate the vascular density of the optic nerve head (ONH) and macula using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) in patients undergoing vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) and to evaluate associations with visual outcomes. Methods. Patients with RRD, successfully treated with a pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and a minimum three-month follow-up were included in this study. The vessel density (VD) of the ONH and peripapillary regions, foveal avascular zone (FAZ), foveal flow density (FFD), and parafoveal flow density (PFD) were evaluated using OCTA and compared to the fellow eye. Multivariate linear regression analysis was performed to determine correlations with visual outcomes. Results. Thirty-one patients with macula-off RRD were included in the study. Compared with the fellow eyes, eyes after RRD surgery had a lower peripapillary VD ( P < 0.01 ). No significant difference in superficial and deep FFD, PFD, and FAZ area was found compared to the fellow eyes. Postoperative peripapillary VD and baseline BCVA were significantly associated with BCVA three months after PPV ( P < 0.05 ). Conclusion. Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment eyes successfully treated with PPV had lower peripapillary vessel density than fellow healthy eyes. Postoperative BCVA was related to postoperative peripapillary VD.

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.

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.

Purpose: Pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and silicone oil endotamponade have been used as a treatment in rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). Improvement in the modality of spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) allows for the assessment of ganglion cell layer-inner plexiform layer (GCL-IPL) in the macular region. Information about the GCL-IPL status may be a response to the question as to why the visual recovery after PPV with silicone oil tamponade is incomplete. The aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of silicone oil on GCL-IPL and compare it with other endotamponade types such as Sulfur hexafluoride gas (SF6), Perfluoropropane gas (C3F8) used during PPV performed due to RRD. Patients and Methods: The study involved 57 eyes after PPV and 57 healthy, control eyes of patients with primary RRD who had undergone successful PPV. The patients were divided into three subgroups depending on the endotamponade type, and were tracked with complete ophthalmological examination during a period of 6 months. PPV with internal tamponade silicone oil, 24% SF6 or 14% C3F8 was performed. The medical records were reviewed and compared between the groups. Results: SD-OCT analysis detected a significant reduction of average GCL-IPL thickness and reduction of GCLIPL parameter in almost all examined sectors in the group with silicone oil endotamponade during all follow-up visits (P<0.05). The study showed a significant vision deterioration in the silicone oil group in comparison with the SF6 group on all follow-up visits (P<0.05). Conclusion: This is the first in vivo SD-OCT study describing the toxic effect of silicone oil endotamponade on GCL-IPL complex after PPV for RRD. The study confirmed that the GCL-IPL complex value can be a predictive factor for assessing the final visual acuity. SD-OCT should be recommended as a clinical standard in the followup treatment of patients after PPV for RRD, especially with the use of silicone oil endotamponade. Plain Language Summary: The aim of the study was to examine the impact of silicone oil on the ganglion cell complex. The ganglion cell is a neuron type located in the retina and takes part in transmitting visual information from the retina to the brain. Silicone oil is a substance used during eye surgery called pars plana vitrectomy. This tamponade type acts to hold the retina in a proper position. However, during the retinal detachment, which is the separation of the retina from the layer underneath, a reduction of neurons is observed. We decided to use a new technology device called SD-OCT to determine the thickness of the ganglion cell complex. We compared the impact of silicone oil with other tamponade types. We found that silicone oil causes a reduction in the ganglion cell complex. Moreover, we observed vision deterioration in eyes treated with a silicone oil tamponade. The research describes the toxic effect of silicone oil on ganglion cells. Ganglion cell values may be used to determine visual improvement or deterioration after eye surgery with silicone oil tamponade. SD-OCT should be a clinical standard in monitoring patients with silicone oil tamponade.
