OUTPATIENT RETINAL DETACHMENT SURGERY: A PRELIMINARY REPORT
author
Abstract:
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 in the literature. This prospective and non-randomized study, although small in scale, suggests that ambulatory retinal detachment surgery is safe and successful. This is the first report on outpatient retinal detachment surgery in world ophthalmic literature.

full textRetinal mobility and retinal detachment surgery.
A series of 200 consecutive retinal detachments was examined prospectively to consider the physical sign of mobility of the detached retina. Retinal mobility was found to be absent in 28 cases, and this immobility is caused by periretinal membrane formation. The importance of retinal mobility when considering the case for non-drainage retinal surgery has been examined with particular emphasis o...

Purpose: To review the occurrence of macular retinal folds following retinal detachment surgery. Method: Review of the literature. Results: Macular folds have been reported in up to 3% of cases postoperatively. Risk factors are tamponading gas bubble, large exoplants, detachments with bullous configuration or running through the fovea, and incomplete drainage of subretinal fluid. Preventive mea...
