RESUMEN

Purpose: To describe the role of cyanoacrylate glue in sealing iatrogenic retinal breaks (IRBs) during vitrectomy in stage 5 familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) with funneled retinal detachment (RD). Methods: Nine eyes of nine patients diagnosed as stage 5 FEVR were treated with cyanoacrylate glue for IRBs during vitrectomy from July 2020 to January 2022. The clinical records, including patient information, surgical process, and follow-up examinations, were collected retrospectively. Anatomical outcomes and visual outcomes were summarized. Results: The average age at surgery was 19.6 months (range: 3.8-41.1 months). The mean post-operative follow-up period was 12.5 months (range: 9.8-18.8 months). Before surgery, five eyes had an open-funnel RD and four eyes had a closed-funnel RD. All the preretinal fibroplasia membranes were removed as thoroughly as possible in the nine eyes. IRBs formed at the posterior pole in two eyes and peripheral retina in seven eyes. All the IRBs were sealed successfully by the cyanoacrylate glue when they appeared. At the final post-operative visit, eight eyes had partial retinal reattachment without progression of fibroplasia tissues, while one eye had total retinal redetachment. The rate for stable anatomical outcome was 88.9% (8/9) in this study. The visual testing available for seven eyes demonstrated light perception in five eyes and no light perception in two eyes. No severe perioperative glue-related complications were noted during the follow-ups. Conclusion: The application of cyanoacrylate glue may be an alternative therapy for IRBs in stage 5 FEVR surgeries, while the long-term efficacy and safety still need further investigation.

RESUMEN

Infusion-related iatrogenic retinal breaks (IRBs) are a significant complication in vitrectomies, particularly when smaller-gauge cannulas are used during fluid infusion. Using two-dimensional finite element analysis (FEA), we analyzed forces exerted on the retina from different cannulas: traditional 25-gauge, 20-gauge, 23-gauge, and 27-gauge, then investigated four alternative new cannula designs: (A) oblique orifices, (B) external obstruction, (C) side ports, and (D) perpendicular orifices. The analysis revealed that the standard 25-gauge cannula had a force of 0.546 milli-Newtons (mN). Optimized cannulas demonstrated decreased forces: 0.072 mN (A), 0.266 mN (B), 0.417 mN (C), and 0.117 mN (D). While all the designs decrease fluid jet force, each has unique challenges: Design A may complicate manufacturing, B requires unique attachment techniques, C could misdirect fluid toward the lens and peripheral retina, and D requires a sealed trocar/cannula design to prevent unwanted fluid ejection. These four innovative cannula designs, identified with detailed engineering simulations, provide promising strategies to reduce the risk of IRBs during vitrectomy, bridging the gap between engineering insights and clinical application.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Anterior Chamber bleeding without vitreous hemorrhage had been described after the removal of 23G vitrectomy cannulas. We report the case of an anterior chamber bleeding after an intravitreal Dexamethasone implant. CASE REPORT: One patient with macular edema due to central retinal vein occlusion in a vitrectomized eye underwent an intravitreal Dexamethasone implant. After the injection the patient suffered from anterior chamber bleeding without signs of vitreous hemorrhage. The complication resolved with a conservative treatment. CONCLUSION: Anterior Chamber bleeding is a possible complication of dexamethasone implant, that can be treated in a conservative way.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: To explore the relationship of gender with laser retinopexy for retinal breaks in the Pakistani population. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This was a 10-year retrospective observational study conducted at Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi, Pakistan. All consecutive patients who underwent laser retinopexy between January 2009 and December 2018 for a retinal tear or high-risk retinal degeneration (such as lattice degeneration) were included in this study. Data were collected from patients' files. Index eyes with a history of or treatment for retinal detachment were excluded. A structured pro forma was used to collect information. Descriptive statistics were used to explore the relationship between gender and laser retinopexy. RESULTS: We identified 12,457 patients through the coding system of our hospital who underwent various laser procedures from January 2009 to December 2018. Yttrium aluminium garnet (YAG) laser, laser peripheral iridotomy (PI), and laser trabeculoplasty procedures were all excluded. A total of 3,472 patients' files were reviewed for this study, out of which 958 patients met the inclusion criteria. Males accounted for a higher number (n=515, 53.87%). The mean age was 43.99±15.37 years. For exploratory analysis, participants were divided into five age groups: <30 years (24.16%); 31-40 years (16.59%); 41-50 years (19.45%); 51-60 years (26.40%); and >60 years (13.49%). Bilateral laser retinopexy was performed in 48.12% of patients; 24.79% and 27.13% of patients underwent unilateral laser retinopexy for the right and left eyes, respectively. CONCLUSION: In our cohort study, laser retinopexy was more commonly performed in men than in women. The ratio was not significantly different from the prevalence of retinal tears and retinal detachment in the general population, which has a slightly higher male preponderance. We did not find evidence of significant gender bias among patients who underwent laser retinopexy in our study.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: This study was performed with the aim of finding a more convenient and less time-consuming method to diagnose retinal breaks in posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) patients. METHODS: A prospective double-blind observational case study was performed with patients who were admitted to the Eye Emergency Department Sahlgrenska University Hospital with PVD symptoms and approved to participate in the study (n = 128). Standard slit lamp examination was compared with images from a Zeiss Clarus 700 ultra-wide-field camera (UWFC). Patients were examined and photographed by an independent operator. Data and image review was performed by three independent reviewers with varying experience. Retinal break detection with the two different methods (detailed eye examination by well-trained ophthalmologist and UWFC evaluations) was analysed statistically. RESULTS: After excluding diagnoses other than PVD as well as unclear images due to cataracts, vitreous bleeding, etc., a total of 103 eyes with PVD were evaluated. A total of 38 ruptures in 25 patients were detected by routine examination and were subjected to laser treatment. UWFC images were reviewed by three ophthalmology consultants and compared with routine examinations. Sensitivity values in detecting retinal ruptures in UWFC images of the three reviewers were 0.89, 0.87 and 0.79, and specificity values were 0.88, 0.86 and 0.93 (kappa values: 0.742, 0.689 and 0.728) respectively. CONCLUSION: Although there have been rapid developments in imaging with UWFC in recent years and it is a very promising method for the future, routine clinical examination is still the only valid method for the detection of retinal tears today.

RESUMEN

Human amniotic membranes (hAMs) are extraembryonic tissues currently employed in the treatment of many ocular and systemic diseases. Several reports indicate that hAMs can suppress the signaling pathway of tissue growth factor beta (TGF-ß), a cytokine that plays a major role in the pathogenesis of proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) through the induction of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in exposed retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE) cells. The present study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of a modified vitrectomy procedure (hAMP-V) involving the extensive coverage of exposed RPE with hAM patches to prevent postoperative PVR in a series of 15 cases of retinal detachment complicated by severe preoperatory PVR. The primary outcome was to assess the rate of successful retinal reattachment of a single hAMP-V procedure at 6 months from silicone oil removal. Secondary outcomes included the collection of intraoperative data concerning the quantity, size, and scope of hAM patches, and the assessment of postoperative improvements in mean LogMar BCVA at 3 and 6 months. Successful retinal reattachment was obtained in 14 out of 15 eyes (93.3%). Surgical failure due to major recurrence of PVR occurred in 1 out of 15 eyes (6.7%). Postoperative improvements in mean LogMar BCVA were statistically significant (p < 0.05, paired t-test). No intraoperative and postoperative adverse effects were reported. The study helped to refine the surgical technique while also offering cues for future improvements.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: To investigate the prevalence and predictors of retinal breaks reopening after vitrectomy with air tamponade in rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). METHODS: A retrospective cohort study was conducted in Shanghai General Hospital. Chart review was performed among 1715 patients with primary RRD who received pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with air tamponade as initial management. Patients were followed up for recurrence. The clinical features of the eyes with retinal breaks reopening were recorded. Logistic regression was constructed to investigate the predictors for breaks reopening. RESULTS: A total of 137 (7.99%) patients had recurrent retinal detachment after PPV with air tamponade. The causes of surgery failure included new or missed retinal breaks (48.9%), reopening of original tears (43.8%) and proliferative vitreoretinopathy (7.3%). The median time to recurrence for the patients with breaks reopening was 18.0 days. Multivariate logistic regression indicated that the presence of retinal break(s) ≥ 1.5 disc diameters (DD) (odds ratio [OR]: 2.68, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 11.04-6.92, P = 0.041), and shorter period for restricted activities (OR: 0.94, 95% CI: 0.89-0.99, P = 0.020) were the independent predictors for breaks reopening. CONCLUSIONS: Breaks reopening is an important cause for retinal redetachment after PPV with air tamponade in primary RRD. The first 2-4 weeks after surgery is the "risk period" for breaks reopening. Special attention should be paid for patients with retinal break(s) ≥ 1.5 DD. A prolonged period for restricted activities is recommended.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: To report a series of cases of post-operative new secondary retinal breaks following vitrectomy for proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). METHODS: This retrospective case series included data of patients diagnosed with post-operative retinal breaks following uneventful vitrectomy surgery for PDR from January 2018 to December 2021. RESULTS: New post-vitrectomy retinal breaks in PDR were seen in 7% of eyes (n = 10/148 eyes; 10 patients). Age of study patients ranged from 45 to 69 years and there were 8 males. Vitreous surgery was performed for vitreous hemorrhage in six eyes, macular tractional retinal detachment in three eyes and epiretinal membrane in one eye. Tractional fibrovascular proliferation near the retinal break prior to its development was noted either pre- or intra-operatively in 8 eyes. Mean time interval between the vitreous surgery and secondary retinal break development was 6.4 months. Residual fibrous tissue post-surgery adjacent to the break was noted in 4 cases. Sclerosed retinal vessel was noted in 4 eyes and associated inner retinal thinning or schisis in 5 eyes. No retinal detachment was noted in any case. Prophylactic barrage was done in 4 eyes. Last follow-up interval ranged from 4 to 53 months and visual acuity ranged from 6/6 to 6/60. No subretinal fluid, traction or break enlargement was noted at the last visit. CONCLUSION: Delayed post-operative retinal breaks following vitrectomy are uncommon in PDR eyes. Careful preoperative evaluation of the retinal proliferations, intraoperative dissection of the membranes and regular post-operative reviews are vital in anticipating the development of delayed post-vitrectomy retinal breaks. Observation could be the management strategy for these breaks.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to compare anatomical outcomes of air and perfluoropropane gas (C3F8) tamponade in pars plana vitrectomy for the treatment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). METHODS: In this retrospective study, data were gathered from 578 patients (578 eyes) with RRD. The follow-up records of all 578 patients that underwent primary vitrectomy for RRD with air or C3F8 were examined and analyzed. Surgical outcomes of the two groups were compared. RESULTS: A total of 342 eyes were treated with air and 236 with C3F8. The mean follow-up period was 37.65 ± 2.33 months. Baseline and preoperative clinical characteristics were similar between groups, but the period to intraocular bubble disappearance (p < 0.0001), intraocular pressure on the first postoperative day (p < 0.0001), number of cases with intraocular pressure >21 mm Hg within 3 days post-surgery (p < 0.0001), and the number with intraocular pressure >21 mm Hg during follow-up (p = 0.0002) differed significantly between groups. Primary reattachment rates for air and C3F8 groups were 95.03% and 95.34%, respectively. Clinical characteristics were similar in those with and without successful reattachment, and the frequency of new or unclosed breaks was similar between the two groups. There was no significant difference in two groups according to the presence or absence of inferior retinal breaks and inferior detached quadrants. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression identified no risk factor for surgical failure. CONCLUSIONS: Air showed equivalent effects to C3F8, with a shorter period to intraocular bubble disappearance, less risk of postoperative intraocular hypertension, and less expense.

RESUMEN

Introduction: Sclerotomy related retinal breaks (SRRBs) are a risk factor for postoperative retinal detachment (RD). Endolaser posterior to sclerotomy wounds decreased the risk of SRRBs after 20G pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for macular disease. However, similar data do not exist for 25G and 23G wounds. Methods: A retrospective cohort study of patients after 23G and 25G PPV for macular pathology was conducted between August 2017 and August 2020. The primary outcome was the postoperative rate of SRRBs or RDs. The secondary outcome was the postoperative rate of pupillary dysfunction and neurotrophic keratopathy. All participants had a minimum postoperative follow-up of one year. Results: One hundred seventeen patients were included in the study (62 in the laser group and 55 in the control group). Mean age was 65.4 ± 11.3 years (56.4% female and 43.6% male). Most of the laser group underwent 23G PPV (90%) while most of the control group underwent 25G PPV (96%). One patient in the control group developed RD secondary to a SRRB. No SRRBs or RDs developed in the laser group. None of the secondary outcomes developed in either group after one year. Conclusions: To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first report in the literature on prophylactic laser posterior to small gauge sclerotomies (25G and 23G) during macular surgery. Laser treatment posterior to small gauge sclerotomies (25G and 23G) had a similar incidence of SRRBs as with 20G sclerotomies. Larger prospective studies are needed to further understand the role of laser in lowering SRRB risk.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: To evaluate the causes of jet stream injury (JSI)-related iatrogenic retinal breaks (IRBs) during vitreoretinal surgery (VRS). METHODS: The precise surgical environment, which includes the indication and type of surgical procedure, retina status, details of instrumentation and fluidic parameters, and characteristics of the jet responsible for the IRB, was noted from case records. The nature of IRB and its healing and impact on anatomical and visual outcomes were analyzed. RESULTS: Five eyes of five patients with complete documentation of both the JSI and the IRB were included. Two cases were operated for macular hole, and one each for vitreous hemorrhage, retinal detachment, and endophthalmitis. One case had infusion-fluid-related JSI, while four developed it because of injection of surgical adjuncts (drugs, PFCL, and dye). JSI developed in two cases when the vitreous cavity was filled with fluid, while it was air-filled in three cases. In four cases, the fluid migrated into subretinal space, necessitating further maneuvers following which the breaks healed, but were directly responsible for vision loss in two cases. CONCLUSION: JSI related IRBs are rare but may be directly responsible for vision loss if they impact the macula. The balance between jet stream velocity, its distance from the retinal surface, the intervening media (vitreous cavity), and retinal health play an important role. It can occur because of both infusion as well as injection jets. Precautions must be taken in cases vulnerable to complications with suggested modifications in the surgical technique.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: Assess the mid and peripheral neuroretina and vitreoretinal interface using a novel Navigated Single-Capture 3D and Cross-Sectional Wide-Field Swept-Source Optical Coherence Tomography (WF SS-OCT) technology with correlation to Multi-Wavelength Ultra-Widefield Imaging (MW UWFI) and Histopathology reference. METHODS: Retrospective observational study. A total of 74 patients (148 eyes) were imaged using WF SS-OCT and Navigated Single-Capture twelve 23 mm cross-sectional radial scan pattern at 15° intervals. Image diagnosis included: congenital hypertrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium, choroidal nevus, ora serrata pearls, retinal tuft, lattice, snail track, cobblestone degeneration, retinal hole, retinal tear, degenerative retinoschisis, peripheral laser retinopexy, white without pressure, vitreous floaters, subclinical peripheral rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RD), and tractional RD in proliferative diabetic retinopathy. WF SS-OCT images were correlated with MW UWFI and histopathological references where available. RESULTS: WF SS-OCT successfully imaged structural features in all diagnoses with significant improvement in diagnostic capability and increased the diagnosis of specific features such as vitreoretinal attachment, full thickness hole or tear and subretinal fluid. Histopathological correlation was available for five (5) different peripheral retinal pathologies imaged by both WF SS-OCT and MW UWFI and good anatomical correlation was observed in all diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS: Navigated Single-Capture 3D and Cross-Sectional WF SS-OCT provides detailed anatomic information of the mid and peripheral neuroretina and vitreoretinal interface, allowing early recognition of vision-threatening features that may influence clinical management, particularly in an era of telemedicine or when there is limited or no access to Indirect Ophthalmoscopy with 360° Scleral Indentation.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: To provide a detailed analysis of risk factors for pseudophakic retinal detachments (PRD) and pseudophakic retinal breaks (PRB). MATERIALS AND METHODS: We reviewed the medical records of cataract surgeries between 1996 and 2017 at a tertiary care hospital in Austria. A Cox proportional-hazard regression model was used to analyse risk factors for PRD and PRB. RESULTS: Sixty-five thousand six hundred and sixty-two eyes (45 043 patients) underwent phacoemulsification, and 393 eyes (cumulative incidence 0.6%) were diagnosed with PRD (327 eyes) or PRB (66 eyes) during the follow-up (median 7.1 years, range 0-21). Calculation of adjusted hazard ratios (HR) revealed a hierarchy of risk factors for either event including (from the highest to the lowest risk) posterior capsular rupture (PCR), patient age <65 years (compared with the age group >75 years), male gender and high myopia. Diabetes mellitus was associated with a lower risk. PCR was the strongest risk factor for PRD both in patients with and without perioperative vitrectomy (i.e. vitreous loss), but time to PRD was significantly reduced only following PCR with vitrectomy. CONCLUSIONS: Posterior capsular rupture, young patient age, male gender and high myopia were risk factors for PRD, but diabetes mellitus was associated with a lower risk. PCR had the strongest association with PRD, regardless of the need for perioperative vitrectomy due to vitreous loss. Time to PRD was reduced in patients with PCR and vitrectomy compared with PCR without the need for vitrectomy or uneventful surgery.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: To describe a variation of the traditional segmental scleral buckle (SB) without an encircling band combined with 23-gauge pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for the management of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) with inferior retinal breaks. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This is a single-center, retrospective, consecutive review of all RRDs with inferior retinal breaks that were treated with PPV and segmental SB without an encircling band between May 2019 and February 2020. RESULTS: A total of 12 eyes of 12 patients were included in the study. All patients had at least 1 inferior retinal break and more than 2 clock hours of retinal detachment. Eight eyes had RRD with macular involvement at presentation. Seven eyes had a persistent RRD following previous pneumatic retinopexy (C3F8). All eyes were treated by PPV combined with a segmental #510 sponge without an encircling band. Surgery anatomical success was 100%. Mean logMAR visual acuity was 1 (SD 0.6; 20/160) and 0.5 (SD 0.4; 20/60) at 3 months and last follow-ups, respectively. No scleral buckle-related complications were noted over the 4.1 (SD 0.8) month follow-up period. CONCLUSION: The combined segmental buckling technique is a safe and effective adjunct to PPV in treatment of inferior RRD.

RESUMEN

Purpose: This study aimed to determine the anatomical and functional outcomes of pars plana vitrectomy without encircling band for primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachments with inferior breaks utilizing 3D heads up viewing system. Method: This prospective, single-center study included 22 consecutive eyes with primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachments with only inferior breaks with proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) CP2 or less, who underwent pars plana vitrectomy without encircling band, with silicon oil as tamponade. All surgeries were performed by a single surgeon. The single operation success rate was recorded after silicon oil removal. Results: The patient population consisted of 08 women (36%) and 14 men (64%) with a mean age of 56.6 +/- 14.7 years. The mean follow-up period was 8 months. A single break was present in 13 cases (59%), and 2-4 breaks were present in 9 cases (40.9%). The mean time for the surgical procedure was 35 min (range: 25-50). The macula was found to be detached in 19 cases (86.36%) and attached in 3 cases (13.6%). Single operation success rate (SOSR) of vitrectomy, after silicon oil removal without encircling band, for primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) with inferior breaks was 95.4%. One case redetached due to PVR changes and underwent re-surgery. Final reattachment was achieved in all 22 cases (100%). Mean best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) significantly improved from 1.43 ± 0.59 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) to postoperative BCVA was 0.48 ± 0.34 logMAR (P = 0.001). Conclusion: Pars plana vitrectomy without encircling band, utilizing 3D heads up the system in RRDs with inferior breaks in eyes with PVR grade C2 or less, provides good outcome.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: To investigate the detection of lattice degeneration, retinal breaks, and retinal detachment in tessellated eyes using ultra-wide-field fundus imaging system (Optos) with convolutional neural network technology. METHODS: This study included 1500 Optos color images for tessellated fundus confirmation and peripheral retinal lesion (lattice degeneration, retinal breaks, and retinal detachment) assessment. Three retinal specialists evaluated all images and proposed the reference standard when an agreement was achieved. Then, 722 images were used to train and verify a combined deep-learning system of 3 optimal binary classification models trained using seResNext50 algorithm with 2 preprocessing methods (original resizing and cropping), and a test set of 189 images were applied to verify the performance compared to the reference standard. RESULTS: With optimal preprocessing approach (original resizing method for lattice degeneration and retinal detachment, cropping method for retinal breaks), the combined deep-learning system exhibited an area under curve of 0.888, 0.953, and 1.000 for detection of lattice degeneration, retinal breaks, and retinal detachment respectively in tessellated eyes. The referral accuracy of this system was 79.8% compared to the reference standard. CONCLUSION: A deep-learning system is feasible to detect lattice degeneration, retinal breaks, and retinal detachment in tessellated eyes using ultra-wide-field images. And this system may be considered for screening and telemedicine.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: To report our anatomical outcome with the internal limiting membrane (ILM) graft procedure in the management of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) secondary to optic disc coloboma (ODC). METHODS: Description of a new surgical procedure in one eye of one patient who underwent pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) combined with ILM graft technique. Subsequent follow-up included optical coherence tomography (OCT) and visual acuity. RESULTS: After only 1 week, the OCT revealed the ILM graft plugging the retinal tear with complete resorption of subretinal fluid. The sealing effect of this graft persisted after 6 months. However, visual outcome was poor and corrected distance visual acuity was 20/200 as a result of the previous long-standing retinal detachment with loss of photoreceptors. CONCLUSION: We suggest that ILM graft could be performed as a first line treatment in the management of RRD secondary to ODC. This direct closure of the retinal tears, allows a quick and effective interruption of the communication between the subretinal space and the vitreous cavity. Detecting these retinal tears and applying this technique as soon as possible could achieve not only an earlier anatomical success but obtain good visual results in retinal tears with RRD secondary to ODC. Further studies will be necessary to provide more evidences.

RESUMEN

AIM: To compare the sensitivity of Optomap Panoramic 200 and Clarus 500 in detecting peripheral retinal breaks that required treatment. METHODS: This prospective study enrolled consecutive patients undergoing laser for treatment-requiring peripheral retinal breaks from May 2019 to July 2019. The patients first underwent indirect ophthalmoscopy examination with scleral indentation by a retinal consultant and then ultra-widefield imaging by a single trained technician on Optomap 200 and Clarus 500 in all nine ocular gazes. The images were analysed by two independent investigators to look for the number and location of the breaks. The sensitivity of each platform was calculated as the number of treatment-requiring breaks identified by the system divided by the number of breaks identified on clinical examination. RESULTS: Clinical examination of 49 eyes (41 patients) showed 116 treatment-requiring breaks. Overall sensitivity for identifying such breaks for Optomap and Clarus was 80.2% (n = 93) and 74.1% (n = 86) respectively (p = 0.274). The sensitivities in superior (p = 0.665), temporal (p = 0.146) and inferior (p = 0.889) quadrants were statistically similar for both the platforms. The sensitivity of Optomap was slightly higher than Clarus in emmetropic (p = 0.046) and phakic (p = 0.061) eyes, but similar in myopic (p = 0.448) and pseudophakic (p = 0.191) eyes. CONCLUSION: The ability to detect treatment-requiring retinal breaks is similar for both Optomap and Clarus systems.
