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.

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.

The Mean

Purpose: This retrospective study recorded intraoperative findings during silicone oil removal and postoperative anatomical outcomes comparing endoscopy-assisted pars plana vitrectomy (E-PPV) vs pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) alone after proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR)-related retinal detachment (RD) repair. Methods: This single-center retrospective study included patients who underwent PPV for silicone oil removal after RD with PVR from July 2009 to January 2017. Patients with diabetic tractional RD, history of trauma, uveitis, or endophthalmitis were excluded. After 2013, an endoscopic visualization system (E2 MicroProbe; Endo Optiks) was used in a nonrandomized fashion. Data collection included reattachment rate, intraoperative endoscopic findings and phthisis rate. Results: Fifty-four eyes of 54 patients were included. The mean participant age was 58.4 ± 12.9 years and 36 (65.5%) participants were male. The mean (± SD) follow-up duration after oil removal was 24.3 ± 20.1 months. E-PPV combined with wide-angle visualization system was performed in 26 (48.1%) of the patients; the surgical management was modified after endoscopic examination in 17 (65.4%) of the cases. Reattachment rate in the E-PPV group was 96.2% compared with 76.0% in the PPV-alone group ( P = .04). Conclusions: E-PPV for silicone oil removal appears to be advantageous for prevention of RD recurrence, thus achieving better reattachment rates. A thorough examination is facilitated by endoscopic visualization and contributory factors for anterior PVR can be identified and treated.

Introduction: Pars plana vitrectomy in combination with intraocular tamponade with silicone oil is a standard technique in the treatment of complex retinal detachment. Although the use of silicone oil has improved the results of retinal detachment surgery, its removal is recommended due to the ocular complications related to its long term use. However, retinal redetachment can occur after silicone oil removal. Objective: To evaluate the anatomical and visual outcome after silicone oil removal (SOR) in eyes with complicated retinal detachment. Material and Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 64 eyes of 64 consecutive patients of silicone oil removal over a period of 12 months. All eyes had undergone standard 3 ports pars plana vitrectomy with silicone oil placement for complicated retinal detachment. Cases that completed at least 1 month follow up duration after SOR were included in the study. Anatomical success after SOR was achieved in 56 of 64 eyes (87.5%). Seven of 8 redetachments (87.5%) were seen in eyes with silicone oil tamponade duration of less than 6 months. Visual acuity improved or was stabilized in 49 of 64 eyes (76.6%). Using paired T-test, it was found that there was no significant difference in pre and post SOR visual acuity. Postoperative ocular hypertension, corneal decompensation, band shaped keratopathy and hypotony was observed in 9.4%, 4.7%, 6.4% and 21.9% respectively. Conclusion: Although there was no significant improvement in visual acuity, redetachment and complication rates were comparable to other studies. The duration of endotamponade was not significantly associated with the redetachment rate. Key words: Silicone oil removal, Redetachment, Visual outcome, Keratopathy, ocular hypertension.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the underlying pathologies, demographic and retinal detachment characteristics in pediatric and early adulthood retinal detachment. Methods: Patients with rhegmatogenous, serous, or tractional retinal detachment aged 0–26 years were retrospectively reviewed. The preschool group (n = 4) comprised children aged 0–6 years, the pediatric group (n = 19) comprised children aged 7–16 years, and the early adulthood group (n = 13) aged 17–26 years. Demographic information and retinal detachment characteristics, type of surgery, and intraocular tamponade were analyzed. Postoperatively, the functional outcome, anatomic success, and ocular adverse events were evaluated. Due to the low patient number in the preschool group, statistical analysis was performed for pediatric group and early adulthood group only. Results: All causes of retinal detachment were present in the pediatric group, but only rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in the early adulthood group. In both groups, the main type of surgical intervention was pars plana vitrectomy (pediatric group: 52%, early adulthood group: 38%; p = 0.36). The type of intraocular tamponade varied statistically significantly between the groups (p = 0.014). Silicone oil was the main intraocular tamponade in the pediatric group (48%), whereas no tamponade (54%) followed by gas tamponade (46%) in the early adulthood group. Final attachment rate was similar in both groups (pediatric group: 89%, early adulthood group: 100%; p = 0.35). Re-detachment occurred significantly sooner in the pediatric group (1.3 ± 0.3 months) than in the early adulthood group (4.3 ± 1.4 months; p = 0.03). Conclusion: In pediatric and early adulthood retinal detachment, pars plana vitrectomy appeared as a successful surgical intervention. Re-attachment rate and re-treatment were similar in both groups with a better functional outcome observed in cases of retinal detachment in early adulthood and poorer results in young children.

Scleral Fixated Intraocular Lens

Abstract Background To investigate the long-term outcomes and complications of scleral-fixated intraocular lens (SFIOL) implantation without conjunctival peritomies and sclerotomy in patients with a history of ocular trauma with inadequate capsular support during primary pars plana vitrectomy or silicone oil removal. Methods Records of ocular trauma patients who underwent implantation of SFIOL without conjunctival peritomies and sclerotomy during primary pars plana vitrectomy or silicone oil removal. Results Sixty-nine eyes of 69 patients were included in this study. The median follow-up period was 34 months (range, 6-99 months). The average patient age at the time of surgery was 44 years old (range, 4-80 years). At the end of follow-up, the preoperative mean of best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 0.79 ± 0.86 log of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR), which improved 0.20 ± 0.26 logMAR postoperatively (P = 0.01). BCVA improved or remained unchanged in 64 eyes (92.8%), VA decreased two lines in five eyes (7.2%). Early postoperative complications included transient corneal edema in seven eyes (10.1%), minor vitreous hemorrhage in four eyes (5.8%), transient elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in one eye (1.4%), and hypotony in three eyes (4.3%). Late postoperative complications included persistent elevated IOP in five eyes (7.2%), epiretinal membrane formation in three eyes (4.3%), and cystoid macular edema noted in one eye (1.4%). Conclusion Use of a scleral-fixated intraocular lens implantation without conjunctival peritomies and sclerotomy in ocular trauma patients during either primary pars plana vitrectomy or second silicone oil removal is a valuable approach for the management of traumatic aphakia in the absence of capsular support.
