Vitrectomy Combined with Scleral Buckling in Patients with Inferior Retinal Breaks
Eyes with minimal PVR and anteriorly located break(s) can be successfully managed by pneumatic retinopexy, scleral buckle or vitrectomy while eyes with posterior break(s) or significant PVR need vitrectomy along with tamponading gas or oil2. The specific gravities of most of the internal tamponading agents are less than balanced saline solution. That is why oil or gas bubble floats at the top m...
متن کاملPars Plana Vitrectomy versus Combined Scleral Buckling—Pars Plana Vitrectomy for Phakic Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment with Inferior Breaks
Aims: To compare the results of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and combined scleral buckling—PPV (SB/PPV) in phakic rhegmatogenous retinal detachments with inferior breaks. Methods: Randomized, prospective, clinical controlled trial of forty consecutive phakic eyes with primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, associated with inferior breaks and not complicated by proliferative vitreoretinopathy...
متن کاملScleral buckling versus vitrectomy for primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment
Introduction Retinal detachment (RD) surgery is the most common retinal surgery performed. RD can be repaired either by scleral buckling (SB) or pars plana vitrectomy (PPV). Pneumoretinopexy, laser delimitation or observation can be done in selected cases. The decision to perform SB or vitrectomy depends on various factors, including age of the patient, duration and extent of RD, presence of pr...
متن کاملRetinal detachment with proliferative vitreoretinopathy: surgical results with scleral buckling, closed vitrectomy, and intravitreous air injection.
Seventy-five cases of total retinal detachment complicated by the more advanced grades (grades C and D) of proliferative vitreoretinopathy were treated with scleral buckling, vitrectomy, and air-fluid exchange. The overall reattachment rate was 56%, ranging from 100% in grade C-1 to 26% in grade D-3. The postoperative visual acuity was 6/120 or better in 48% of the 42 eyes in which the retina w...
متن کاملVitrectomy with and without scleral buckling for retinal detachment repair in pseudophakic patients.
PURPOSE To compare the surgical results of vitrectomy with and without scleral buckling for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RD). METHODS Fifty-one patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) at different stages were submitted to pars plana vitrectomy as the primary surgery, 23 patients (45.09%) with scleral buckle (group I) and 28 (54.90%) wit...
