Retrospective observational cohort study involving 62 consecutive patients with primary RRD who underwent RRD repair with either scleral buckling (SB) or pars plana vitrectomy (PPV). SB was used in yo...
Sixty-two eyes affected by RRD who underwent SB or PPV were enrolled. CME occurred in 33.3% of the PPV group regardless of the ERM formation. No CME cases were found in the SB group. Macula-off RRD in...
The risk of postoperative CME was higher in patients with macula-off than in macula-on RRD and in those with macula-off RRD who underwent PPV. The SB would be advisable in patients with RRD sparing th...
The Scottish RD Survey reported an incidence of 12.05/100,000/yr in 2009. Data published from Denmark recently confirmed a 50% increase in RD presentations over the last 16 years. We set out to repeat...
All 16 Scottish VR surgeons, who make up the collaboration of Scottish VR Surgeons (SCVRs) were asked to prospectively record all primary RDs presenting from 12th August 2019 to 11th August 2020. For ...
There were 875 RRDs recorded, which gives an updated incidence of 16.02/100,000/year in Scotland. 62.8% occurred in males and the greatest increases were seen in males aged 50-59 (p = 0.0094), 60-69 (...
Our study confirms that RRD is becoming more common in the UK, reflecting almost identical findings from Denmark. This trend is in part due to increasing myopia, increasing pseudophakia, and possibly ...
The aim of this study is to elucidate the factors contributing to the occurrence of retinal detachment (RD) following prophylactic vitrectomy in cases of acute retinal necrosis (ARN) syndrome....
A retrospective examination was undertaken, encompassing the medical records of patients diagnosed with ARN who underwent prophylactic vitreous intervention at the Ophthalmology Department of Wuhan Un...
This study comprised 14 cases (involving 14 eyes) of patients diagnosed with ARN who underwent prophylactic vitreous intervention. The findings revealed that 4 patients experienced postoperative RD, r...
RD following prophylactic vitrectomy in cases of ARN is not an infrequent occurrence and is primarily linked to the postoperative onset of proliferative vitreoretinopathy....
To evaluate and compare surgical outcomes for syndromes with optically empty vitreous (SOEV)-associated rhegmatogenous retinal detachments....
A retrospective, cross-sectional, 2-arm study of a single pediatric vitreoretinal surgeon's patients from a quaternary referral center with SOEV was performed to examine visual and anatomical outcomes...
Patients identified either through slit-lamp examination (presence of an optically empty or void space in the vitreous gel structure) or genetic testing. Fifty-six eyes of 49 patients were identified ...
Comparison of initial retinal detachment (RD) surgical repair via pars plana vitrectomy (PPV), scleral buckle (SB), or PPV-SB with final anatomical success, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), and nu...
Visual acuity, surgical repair techniques (PPV, SB, PPV-SB), number of surgeries, anatomical retinal reattachment success....
Initial SB had statistically significant better final BCVA (P < 0.01) and better final anatomical success (P < 0.01). No statistical difference in the number of surgeries needed to achieve anatomical ...
Initial SB yields better overall outcomes in SOEV presenting with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Stickler Type-1 patients had similar outcomes compared with other SOEV, suggesting both populations...

The sensitivity, specificity, and predictive accuracy (using area under the curve [AUC]) of en face OCT were compared with those of cross-sectional OCT, which is considered the gold standard....
Two hundred twenty-three patients were included in this study. The Cohen kappa between the graders in the diagnosis of PSRF and ORFs using en face OCT was 0.84 and 0.86, respectively. The sensitivity ...
En face OCT has good sensitivity, specificity, and predictive accuracy (using AUC) in the diagnosis of PSRF and ORFs. En face OCT is an efficient screening tool for postoperative anatomic abnormalitie...
