the purpose of this study was to compare the anatomic and visual outcome of primary vitrectomy with scleral buckling in patients with retinal detachment following cataract surgery. fifty-six consecutive patients with retinal detachment after cataract surgery were randomly assigned to two treatment groups: standard scleral buckling and standard three-port deep vitrectomy. successful treatment wa...

AIM To describe the rate of fellow eye vitrectomy for proliferative diabetic retinopathy in an inner city population. METHODS Retrospective interventional case series. Medical and surgical records of 434 consecutive eyes of 358 patients undergoing primary diabetic vitrectomy in an inner city institutional practice were reviewed. Kaplan-Meier statistical analysis was employed to evaluate the r...

PURPOSE To investigate the incidence and predisposing factors of macular pucker formation after pars plana vitrectomy in patients who developed primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed a consecutive series of 284 eyes in 284 patients who underwent primary retinal detachment repair by pars plana vitrectomy alone between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 201...

*corresponding author: [email protected] purpose: to compare the visual and anatomical outcomes and complications of two surgical methods in patients with pseudophakic / aphakic retinal detachment (pard) using propensity score analysis. methods: in this study, the propensity score matching was used as a new approach to control confounding factors. propensity score was calculated using the...

IMPORTANCE Patients and clinicians need to accurately assess the risks and benefits of pars plana vitrectomy for proliferative diabetic retinopathy, but clinical trial data may not reflect real-world experience. OBJECTIVE To prospectively audit the complications of vitrectomy for proliferative diabetic retinopathy and help establish benchmarks. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Royal Colleg...

PURPOSE To compare the anatomic and visual outcomes achieved by scleral buckling and primary vitrectomy for the repair of macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. METHODS The records were reviewed for a consecutive series of 167 patients (167 eyes) who were initially treated with scleral buckling or pars plana vitrectomy for primary macula-off retinal detachment. Patients were treated be...

PURPOSE To compare the surgical results of vitrectomy and scleral buckling for uncomplicated superior retinal detachment caused by flap tears. METHODS Included in the study were 225 patients (225 phakic eyes) undergoing primary surgery by three surgeons between January 1990 and December 1996 for superior retinal detachment caused by flap tears (138 eyes by scleral buckling, 87 eyes by vitrect...

Purpose: To evaluate the anatomic and functional outcomes and the rate of complications of a novel pars plana vitrectomy approach (airbag vitrectomy), with 25-gauge vitrectomy performed under air infusion, in the treatment of primary pseudophakic rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (PsRD). Methods: Prospective, noncomparative, interventional case series. One hundred forty-one eyes of 141 consecut...
