Pars Plana Vitrectomy for the Recurrent Retinal Detachmentafter Scleral Buckling
Joo Youn Oh, Hyeong Gon Yu
Abstract
Purpose
To evaluate the surgical outcome of pars plana vitrectomy for the treatment of the recurrent rhegmatogenous retinal detachment more than 6 weeks after reattachment with primary scleral buckling procedures. Methods: We reviewed the clinical and operative records of 31 eyes of 31 patients who underwent pars plana vitrectomy for the treatment of the recurrent retinal detachment more than 6 weeks after reattachment with primary scleral buckling procedures. Anatomical and functional outcomes were analyzed. Results: Of total 246 patients who had achieved a retinal reattachment after scleral buckling, redetachment occurred in 31 patients from 6 weeks to 36 months (average, 10.1 months). Macula was involved in 23 of 31 patients (74.2%) and proliferative vitreoretinopathy was combined in 11 eyes (35.5%). Gas injection was done in 21 eyes (67.7%), and silicone oil was injected in 10 eyes (32.3%), intraoperatively. Phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation in 5 eyes and lensectomy in 4 eyes were performed simultaneously with pars plana vitrectomy. Retina was redetached in 6 patients, of which 5 patients had a second vitrectomy. Overall, 30 patients (96.8%) achieved an anatomic success, while only 19 eyes (61.3%) achieved a visual acuity of better than 0.1 in Snellen chart. Conclusions: Regular follow-up is necessary for the patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, even after successful scleral buckling, and pars plana vitrectomy can be useful for recurrent retinal detachment in these patients.
