TitreThe incidence of retinal detachment after pars plana vitrectomy for idiopathic macular hole: a retrospective study
Abstract Nr.1028
ButTo evaluate the incidence of retinal detachment after pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with dye-assisted peeling of the inner limiting membrane, combined with intraoperative 360° endolaser treatment and silicone oil tamponade for treatment of idiopathic macular holes.
MéthodesRetrospective review of the occurrence of retinal detachment in 459 patients (480 eyes) who underwent vitrectomy for macular hole between January 2004 and June 2013 in the UZLeuven. More specific, occurrence of retinal detachment within one year after the silicone oil removal was reviewed. A comparison was made with similar data obtained by different surgical techniques, found in the peer-reviewed published literature.
RésultatsOnly one case of retinal detachment was seen in the 480 eyes in the study group. Compared to the published results, this is a statistically significant better outcome.
ConclusionCombining 360° endolaser treatment and silicone oil tamponade during vitrectomy with dye-assisted ILM peeling offers optimal prevention against the occurrence of retinal detachment after surgery for idiopathic macular holes.
