Rhegmatogenous retinal detachments with inferior breaks are believed to have a higher risk of recurrent rhegmatogenous detachment. This study compared anatomic and visual outcomes between primary pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) combination PPV scleral buckle (PPV/SB) for breaks.This is an analysis the Primary Retinal Detachment Outcomes study, multi-institutional cohort consecutive detachment surgeries from January 1, 2015, through December 31, 2015. The outcome was single-surgery success rate....
To determine factors associated with 360-degree laser retinopexy (360LR) during primary pars plana vitrectomy ± scleral buckle for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) and its impact on surgical outcomes.This is a multicenter, retrospective, interventional study. Patients undergoing or + noncomplex RRD in 2015 were evaluated. Primary outcomes single surgery anatomical success (SSAS) final success. Secondary included logarithm of the minimum angle resolution visual acuity, epiretinal...
Purpose: Cystoid macular edema (CME) following cataract surgery is a well-known entity. Less known regarding the risk factors of developing CME repair rhegmatogenous retinal detachments (RRD).Methods: This was multi-institutional study primary RRD surgeries from 1/1/2015 through 12/31/2015. The outcome development postoperative surgery. Post-operative optical coherence tomography imaging and 3 months follow-up were required.Results: There 1,466 eyes that met inclusion criteria, 140 (9.6%)...
Difference limens for complex tones (DLCs) that differ in F0 are widely regarded as a measure of periodicity-pitch discrimination. However, because changes inevitably accompanied by the frequencies harmonics, DLCs may actually reflect discriminability individual components. To test this hypothesis, were measured tones, component which shifted coherently upward or downward ΔF = 0%, 25%, 37.5%, 50% F0, yielding fully harmonic (ΔF 0%), strongly inharmonic 37.5%), odd-harmonic 50%) tones. If...
To describe characteristics and outcomes of primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in older adults (age ≥ 80).Consecutive patients with undergoing pars plana vitrectomy (PPV), scleral buckling (SB), or PPV/SB the Primary Retinal Detachment Outcomes Study were evaluated. Outcome measures included single surgery anatomic success visual acuity.Of 2,144 included, 125 (6%) 80 years older. Compared younger 40-79), more likely to be pseudophakic (P < 0.001), have macula-off detachments...
Abstract Background/Aims To identify differences in preoperative characteristics and intraoperative approaches between surgeons with higher versus lower single surgery success rates (SSSR) for repair of rhegmatogenous retinal detachments (RRDs). Methods This study is a sub‐analysis subjects who underwent RRD the Primary Retinal Detachment Outcomes (PRO) study, multi‐institutional, retrospective comparative interventional study. The PRO examined consecutive primary surgeries from January 1,...
Background/aims Vitrectomy to repair retinal detachment is often performed with either non-contact wide-angle viewing systems or contact systems. The purpose of this study assess whether the system used associated any differences in surgical outcomes vitrectomy for primary non-complex repair. Methods This a multicenter, interventional, retrospective, comparative study. Eyes that underwent by pars plana (PPV) alone combination scleral buckle/PPV 2015 were evaluated. at time was identified and...
To determine factors associated with loss of good vision (defined as Snellen visual acuity [VA] < 20/40) after surgery among eyes presenting macula-on primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) initial VA ≥20/40.Multicenter, retrospective, cohort study undergoing scleral buckle (SB), pars plana vitrectomy (PPV), or combined vitrectomy/scleral (PPV/SB) for non-complex RRD ≥20/40.Among 646 RRDs ≥20/40, 106 (16.4%) had <20/40 (i.e. lost vision) at final follow-up. Eyes losing slightly...
This work compares posterior retinotomy vs perfluorocarbon liquid (PFCL) for subretinal fluid (SRF) drainage during pars plana vitrectomy primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD).In this large, multicenter, retrospective comparative study, 2620 patients underwent (with or without scleral buckle) uncomplicated RRD. Patients whom SRF was drained via the break PFCL were excluded; those who required both and similarly excluded. Remaining separated into "retinotomy" "PFCL" cohorts....
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Non-causal macular holes (MHs) can occur concurrently with rhegmatogenous retinal detachments (RRDs). The visual outcomes and surgical approach for these eyes are variable. PATIENTS METHODS: This was a multi-institutional, retrospective review of all primary detachment surgeries from January 1, 2015, through December 31, 2015. Pre-, intra-, postoperative metrics were recorded. RESULTS: There 2,242 that had pars plana vitrectomy RRD, 43 (1.9%) which MH at the time...
Dear Editor In the setting of a rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD), pigment epithelial (RPE) cells are released into vitreous cavity and thought to provoke formation proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) membranes PVR-related epiretinal (ERM) following RRD surgery using internal limiting membrane (ILM) as scaffold (Fallico et al., 2018). Previous studies have suggested that there may be reduction in ERM repair RRDs with prophylactic intra-operative ILM peeling (Yannuzzi 2018) potential...
Purpose: This work evaluates the anatomic and functional outcomes of primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachments (RRDs) with preoperative grade B C proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) vs eyes without PVR. Methods: As a multi-institutional, interventional, retrospective study all patients undergoing RRD surgical procedures from January 1, 2015, through December 31, this evaluated visual acuity (VA) single-surgery success rates (SSAS) PVR at time repair. Results: A total 2486 underwent RD...
To compare risk factors for poor visual outcomes in patients undergoing primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) repair and to develop a scoring system.Analysis of the Primary Retinal Outcomes (PRO) study, multicentre interventional cohort consecutive RRD surgeries performed 2015. The main outcome measure was (Snellen VA ≤20/200).A total 1178 cases were included. mean preoperative postoperative logMARs 1.1±1.1 (20/250) 0.5±0.7 (20/63), respectively. Multivariable logistic regression...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Most surgeons now utilize small-gauge (23- or 25-gauge) pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with without scleral buckling for repair of rhegmatogenous retinal detachments (RRD), in addition to primary buckle (SB), but comparative data between the two gauges are limited. PATIENTS METHODS: This study is an analysis RRD repairs comparing 23- versus 25-gauge PPV combination PPV/SB from January 1, 2015, through December 31, across multiple institutions. The outcome was...
There are primarily two techniques for affixing the scleral buckle (SB) to sclera in repair of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD): tunnels or sutures.This retrospective study examined all patients with primary RRD who were treated SB combined vitrectomy from January 1, 2015 through December 31, across six sites. Two cohorts examined: affixed using sutures versus tunnels. Pre- and postoperative variables evaluated including visual acuity, anatomic success, strabismus.The mean...
