Objective  To observe the clinical effect of minimally invasive vitreoretinal (MIV) surgery combined with a modified suprachoroidal drainage surgery for retinal detachment associated with choroidal detachment (RRDCD). Methods  A prospective clinical study. A total of 27 patients (27eyes) diagnosed as RRDCD were recruited in this study. There were 16 males and 11 females, with an average of (53.67±14.82) years. The mean intraocular pressure (IOP) was (8.2±2.1) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of minimum resolution angle logarithm (logMAR) was 1.87±0.58. All subjects underwent 23G MIV combined a modified suprachoroidal drainage surgery, which 23G stab knife and 1 ml syringe needle were used for surgery. The visual outcome, IOP, rate of retinal reattachment and complications were comparatively analyzed preoperatively and postoperatively. Results  At 1 day, 10 days, 1 month and 3 months after surgery, the average of logMAR BCVA were 1.62±0.67, 1.51±0.63, 1.39±0.54, 1.32±0.56 and the mean of IOP were (13.47±5.06), (14.43±4.09), (14.89±4.30), (15.38±3.37) mmHg, respectively. There were significant differences of logMAR BCVA and IOP between before and after surgery (F=6.19, 15.21; P<0.05). Retinal reattachments were achieved in 27 eyes (100%) at 1 day and 10 days after surgery. At 1 month and 3 months after surgery, the rate of retinal reattachment were 88.89% (24 eyes) and 85.19% (23 eyes), respectively. No severe complications such as endophthalmitis and choroidal hemorrhage were found at follow-up visits. Conclusion  MIV combined with a modified suprachoroidal drainage surgery is an effective and safe treatment for RRDCD, which can promote retina tear closure, improve visual acuity.
