AIM To evaluate the success rate and complications of pneumatic retinopexy performed at a university hospital and to identify which patients are best suited for pneumatic retinopexy. METHODS This was an interventional case series. Retrospective review of 61 patients who had pneumatic retinopexy performed by two retina surgeons at two University of California, San Francisco hospitals between 1...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of pneumatic retinopexy as an initial management of retinal detachment associated with hypotony, severe choroidal detachment, and vitritis. METHODS Retrospective, interventional, noncomparative case series. We included nine eyes from nine patients (six women and three men) with retinal detachment associated with hypotony, severe choro...

OBJECTIVE To compare the results of pneumatic retinopexy in 3 groups of eyes with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. METHODS In this retrospective, consecutive study, 44 eyes of 44 patients who underwent pneumatic retinopexy were divided into 3 groups: eyes with vitreoretinal abnormalities (group A), pseudopakic or aphakic eyes (group B), and phakic eyes without vitreoretinal abnormalities (g...

Patients with primary Rhuegmatougenous Retinal detachment during COVID-19 pandemic were more likely to present late, have macula involving disease secondary and show poor visual outcomes. Pneumatic Retinopexy (PR) is a procedure that eliminates the need for admission limits duration of contact patients. Hence, feasible periods shortage in hospital beds medical personnel pandemic. In our experie...

purpose: to present a case of chorioretinitis sclopetaria with attached retina in spite of performing deep vitrectomy without retinopexy. patient and findings: a 10-year-old boy was reffered due to air-gun injury to the left eye. right eye had visual acuity of 20/16, mg-, and normal slit lamp examination and fundoscopy. in the left eye, visual acuity was count fingers at 50 cm, mg+++, anterior ...

Retinoschisis is an abnormal separation of the retinal layers and is asymptomatic in most cases. Enlargement of the area of retinoschisis and retinal tear and detachment are possible complications of the disease, and the treatment of retinoschisis is controversial. In this case report, we present a case of retinal detachment associated with senile retinoschisis in which pneumatic retinopexy was...

AIM To report on the incidence and management of a unique and troublesome complication of pneumatic retinopexy-localised, delayed subretinal fluid absorption (DSRFA). METHODS A retrospective chart review was done for all patients who underwent pneumatic retinopexy for retinal detachment over a 5 year period to identify the patients with DSRFA. RESULTS Seven phakic patients (five females, tw...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE To evaluate anatomic and clinical outcomes of pneumatic retinopexy for treatment of primary retinal detachment. PATIENTS AND METHODS Noncomparative, single-center, consecutive, interventional case series evaluating all patients treated between 2000 and 2012. Patients with less than 1 month of follow-up or coexisting neovascular age-related macular degeneration, uveiti...

purpose: to compare the anatomical results of scleral buckling surgery with and without retinopexy in the management of phakic rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (rd). methods: in this retrospective, nonrandomized, interventional, comparative case series, data of 71 phakic eyes of 71 patients with rhegmatogenous rd that had undergone scleral buckling were evaluated. the procedure in 41 consecuti...
