“…The initial and final anatomical success rates are comparable with other similar previous studies [ Table 4 ]. 3 4 5 6 9 10 11 12 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 These differences may be attributed to the differences in patients' age, follow-up duration, the extent of retinotomy in the primary procedure, grade and extent of PVR, and mechanism of RD.…”

Purpose: To report the anatomical and functional outcomes of retinotomy and/or retinectomy for the management of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) complicated by advanced proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR). Methods: In this retrospective study, the charts of patients who underwent pars plana vitrectomy with retinotomy and/or retinectomy for the management of RRD complicated by PVR were reviewed. Primary outcome measures were final best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and anatomical reattachment rate. Results: Sixty-one eyes of 61 patients with a mean age of 48.56 ± 15.92 were studied. The mean follow-up time was 21.38 ± 23.08 months. The mean angle of the retinotomy was 171.31° ± 79.15°. Thirty-two (52.5%) of them needed extensive (≥180°) retinotomy. In addition, simultaneous retinectomy was performed in 36.2% of the cases. The BCVA was 2.18 ± 0.63 and 1.85 ± 0.71 logMAR before the surgery and at the last visit, respectively ( P = 0.001). The initial anatomical success was achieved in 45 eyes (73.8%) after retinotomy surgery. Sixteen eyes (26.2%) had recurrent RD and needed reoperation, which was performed 5.60 ± 4.01 months after the initial retinotomy surgery. At the last examination, the retina was attached in all patients. Conclusion: Retinotomy with/without retinectomy is an effective procedure in the majority of patients with RRD associated with advanced PVR; however, additional surgeries are needed in a significant number of eyes to achieve final anatomical success.

Outcomes of Retinectomy in Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment with Proliferative Vitreoretinopathy

Abstract: Forty eyes of 40 patients with primary RRD with inferior retinal breaks and PVR >C3 (according to the classification of Retina Society) were enrolled in the study after approval of the Hospital Ethical Committee and patient's written informed consent.
