Association between Retinal Detachment and Cataract Extraction Surgery: A Review

Retinal Detachment Following Cataract Surgery

The technical progress in cataract treatment led to the significant decrease of retinal detachment (RD) following surgery. Globally, the risk for RD, 4 years after cataract surgery is around 0.93%. The strategy to decrease the risk for pseudophakic RD includes: preoperative identification of the retinal lesions predisposing to RD, high quality cataract surgery and efficient resolution of compli...

OUTPATIENT RETINAL DETACHMENT SURGERY: A PRELIMINARY REPORT

Retinal detachment surgery has been considered an inpatient hospital procedure requiring preoperative and postoperative hospitalization. In this pilot study, outpatient retinal detachment surgery was performed on sixteen patients and the results (100% success rate after an average follow-up of 8.3 months) were comparable or better than reported overall success rates for retinal detachment ...

Retinal detachment after congenital cataract surgery.

Those born with congenital cataracts tend to develop retinal detachments, irrespective of whether or not cataract surgery is undertaken (Malbran and Dodds, i964), although the patient may reach middle age before the retina separates (Shapland, I962). The prospects of curing such detachments are generally regarded as poor (McDonald, I957), and since the literature is devoid of any series giving ...

Risk of retinal detachment following cataract extraction: results from the International Cataract Surgery Outcomes Study.

AIMS To estimate the risk of retinal detachment (RD) following cataract extraction in Denmark, and to compare the risk with that following cataract extraction in the USA, and with that in a sample of Danish patients who did not have ocular surgery. METHODS A sample was created from the administrative Danish Hospital Register and included 19,252 patients who underwent first eye cataract surger...
