  • The clinical analysis for secondary vitreous surgery

    Objective To investigate the causes of failure of the primary vitrectomy,sum up the experience for secondary vitreous surgery and improve the success rate of primary vitrectomy for complicated retinal detachment. Methods The records of a consecutive series of 60 patients(65 eyes)that underwent secondary vitreous surgery between 1997 to 1998 were retrospectively reviewed.The age of patient ranged from 9 to 63 years(mean 36),and the followup period ranged from 3 to 18 months(mean 10.5 months). Results The main causes of failure of the primary vitrectomy were postoperative recurrence of proliferative vitreoretinopathy(PVR),unwell closed retinal breaks,and intra-and postoperative complications.In 46 of 65 eyes the retina was reattached after secondary vitreous surgery(70.1%).Postoperatively,31 eyes (47.7%) had a visual acuity(VA)improved,16 eyes(24.6%)had a VA unchanged,and 18eyes(27.7%)had a VA reduced.Fifteen eyes(23.1%)had a VA of ge;0.05 and the best VA was 0.4.Thirty-nine eyes were followed-up from 3 to 18 months(mean 10.5).In 35 of 39 eyes,the retina was reattached(89.7%),26 eyes(40%)had a VA of ge;0.05,and 7 eyes(10.7%)were hypotonic. Conclusions The keys to the success of secondary vitreous surgery are to restore the mobility for retina by eliminating the PVR completely,and avoid intraoperative complicattions by choosing the appropriate closure procedure for retinal breaks and the suitable intraocular tamponades.

  • THE EFFECTS OF SILICONE OIL REMOVAL ON THE COMPLICATIONS AFTER RETINAL DETACHMENT SURGERY

    PURPOSE:To assess the effects of silicone oil removal on the complications associated with its use. METHODS:Retrospective analysis of the results of silicone oil removal after vitreous surgery for retinal detachment in 913 eyes in National Ophthalmology Centre of French. The follow-up period was at least six months and the mean duration of oil tamon- ade was 6.4 months. RESULTS :Retinal detachment recurred in 7.3%. The development of cataract continued after silicone oil removal. No patient retained a clear lens in the eye with oil remained in situ for more than 3 months. TWO of 5 eyes with keratopathy at the time of oil removal recovered after the oil removal ;but the corneas of another 4 eyes became dystrophic after the oil removal. Twelve of 15 eyes with secondary ocular hypertension incontrollable through medicinal treatment relieved after oil removal ,but another 11 eyes became hypertensive after oil removal. Persistent emulsive droplets wre found in anterior chamber angles of the above 11 hypertensive eyes and the 7 eyes with keratopathy. CONCLUSINOS:Early removal of silicone oil after retinal detachment operation might delay the development of cataract but can not avoid its occurence ,and ocular hypeitension and keratopathy can be prevented by early and complete removal of silicone oil.
