A Comparative Study between Vitrectomy with Internal Tamponade and a New Modified Fiber Optic Illuminated Ando Plombe for Cases of Macular Hole Retinal Detachment in Myopic Eyes

Abstract: Aim. To compare pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with silicone tamponade or gas (Groups Ia and Ib) and a new modified Ando plombe equipped with a fiber optic light (Group II) for cases with macular hole retinal detachment (MHRD) in high myopic eyes (axial length > 26 mm). Methods. A prospective interventional randomized case series included 60 eyes (20 in each group). Successful outcome was considered if the retina was completely attached at the end of the follow-up period. Complications were identified for each gr… Show more

“…It has a much shorter length of 9 mm in comparison to the 21–29 mm length range of the Ando plombe. Moreover, accurate placement over the region of the fovea containing the hole externally was guaranteed by the use of fibre-optic light [4]. …”

“…The development of a sutureless buckle was the natural next step in the evolution of the fibre-optic-guided macular buckle because of the high rate (15%) of scleral perforation in the macular buckle group in the original series performed by the authors [4]. …”
