PURPOSE To investigate the causes and management of recurrences of complicated retinal detachment after vitreoretinal surgery. METHODS Vitreoretinal surgery was performed in 61 patients with complicated retinal detachment who were followed up for 4-24 (mean 7) months. Liquid perfluorocarbon (PFC) was used in all 61, silicone oil in 40 and perfluoropropane (C3F8) in 18 patients. RESULTS Reti...

introduction: there are different methods to repair retinal detachment. in this trial the retinopexy in repairmen of retinal regmatogenesis rd is compared with other methods in qazvin teaching hospitals during 1993-2003. methods: this out come study was conducted on 47 patients with s/b and retinal break cryopexy (group i) , 30 patients undergoing s/b with barrier laser photocoagulation around ...

BACKGROUND Perfluorocarbon liquid (PCL)-perfused vitrectomy has been shown in previous studies to be feasible, safe, and to have advantages in managing complicated cases of tractional retinal detachment. The present study had the objectives of describing the anatomical results and measuring surgical time and PCL consumption when combining PCL-perfused techniques with modern vitrectomy equipment...

E-mail: [email protected] Introduction. Optic disk pit has been considered as coloboma located, as a rule, near temporal part of the optic disc. Central serous retinal detachment develops in 50 % of patients. The purpose of the present study was to show practically the possibility to use laser coagulation as an entire method for treatment of optic disc pit complicated by serous neuroepithelia...

We report a rare case of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment due to a full-thickness macular hole in a young patient with pars planitis. This study was an interventional case report. A 38-year-old Asian man presented with acute reduction of vision in his left eye. His past ocular history revealed a precedent of two intravitreal steroid injections in his left eye, and fundoscopy revealed a total b...

PURPOSE To assess the risks of vitrectomy for the removal of primary and secondary vitreous opacities. DESIGN Retrospective, nonrandomized, interventional case series. METHODS We reviewed the results of 116 consecutive cases of vitrectomy for vitreous floaters. Eighty-six cases were primary and 30 cases were secondary floaters. Main outcome measures were the incidence of iatrogenic retinal ...

Silicone oil alone or as an adjunct to vitrectomy is widely used for the treatment of retinal detachment complicated by proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR). It appears to reduce the tendency for recurrent traction detachment, but the mechanism of this action is obscure. We have studied the effects of silicone oil in an experimental animal model. Twenty five thousand homologous fibroblasts wer...

PURPOSE To explore neuronal and glial alterations in eyes with complex long-term rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). METHODS Morphological analysis was performed on eight retinal specimens derived from patients treated with peripheral retinectomy for RRD complicated by retinal shortening or retinal thinning. All eyes had undergone previous surgeries including silicone oil tamponade, and ...

Since the first vitrectomy surgery was used for treatment of vitreoretinal diseases, surgical techniques and instrumentation have been rapidly improved in the past decades. However, there are complicated vitreoretinal diseases that cannot be successfully treated, even with state-of-the-art surgeries. The outcomes of some complicated cases are still poor due to different reasons and debates stil...
