Changes of the morpho-functional parameters of the retina of patients after surgical treatment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment complicated by macular hole in the early postoperative period

Abstract

Objective: to realize the effectiveness of surgical treatment of patients with retinal detachment and macular hole PVR C, depending on the method of closing the macular hole. Material and methods. The data of 20 patients (20 eyes) with a diagnosis of retinal detachment with macular hole PVR С were studied. Patients of the 1st group (10 patients, 10 eyes) underwent surgical treatment with closure of the macular hole with an inverted flap of the inner limiting membrane. Patients of the 2nd group (10 patients, 10 eyes) did not undergo closure of the macular hole during the first stage of surgical treatment. Results. In the 1st group, it was possible to achieve closure of the macular hole in 80% of cases. In the 2nd group, a day after the operation, there was a significant decrease in the diameter to 263±46 urn. When re-examined a month later, in 80% of cases, the macular hole was closed. When studying the results of micro-perimetry one day after the operation, positive dynamics was noted. While after a month of observation, the indicators of patients in the second group were significantly higher. Conclusion. The method of surgical treatment of retinal detachment with macular hole showed greater efficiency in refusing to perform membranopiling; in patients of this group, higher functional results were achieved. During the observation period, cases of a decrease in the diameter of an intact macular hole and its complete closure under the action of silicone tamponade were recorded. If necessary, membrane peeling can be delayed during a second silicone oil removal operation.
