Risk factors for surgical failure after primary scleral buckling for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. CANADIAN JOURNAL OF OPHTHALMOLOGY 2024; 59:e155-e160. [PMID: 36803933 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcjo.2023.01.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2022] [Revised: 01/05/2023] [Accepted: 01/24/2023] [Indexed: 02/18/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify risk factors for surgical failure after scleral buckling (SB) for primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) repair. DESIGN Single-centre retrospective consecutive case series. PARTICIPANTS All patients who underwent SB for repair of primary RRD at Wills Eye Hospital between January 1, 2015, and December 31, 2018, were included. METHODS Single-surgery anatomic success (SSAS) rate and risk factors associated with surgical failure were evaluated. A multivariable logistic regression model was completed to assess the effect of demographic, clinical, and operative variables on SSAS rate. RESULTS A total of 499 eyes of 499 patients were included. Overall SSAS rate was 86% (n = 430 of 499). Using multivariate analysis, surgical failure was more likely in males (adjusted odds ratio [adjusted OR] = 2.98; 95% CI, 1.58-5.62; p = 0.0007) with a macula-off status on preoperative examination (adjusted OR = 2.15; 95% CI, 1.10-4.20; p = 0.03) and preoperative proliferative vitreoretinopathy (adjusted OR = 4.26; 95% CI, 1.10-16.5; p = 0.04). Time interval between initial examination and surgery (p = 0.26), distribution of buckle or band material used (p = 0.88), and distribution of tamponade used (p = 0.74) were not significantly different between eyes with and without surgical failure. CONCLUSION Male sex, macula-off status, and preoperative proliferative vitreoretinopathy were factors with increased odds of surgical failure after SB for primary RRD repair. Operative characteristics, such as type of band or use of tamponade, were not associated with surgical failure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The course after scleral buckling surgery is investigated in patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. PATIENTS AND METHODS The Ethics Committee of Eastern Switzerland approved the retrospective single-center study (EKOS19/152, Project ID: 2019-02034). The primary endpoint is the anatomical reattachment of the retina 3 months after surgery. Secondary endpoints are visual acuity and the occurrence of intra- and postoperative complications. The patient files of all patients treated for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with scleral buckling surgery between January 2005 and December 2014 at the Cantonal Hospital of St. Gallen were included. RESULTS In 165 of 184 patients (89.7%), reattachment of the retina 3 months postoperatively was achieved by single scleral buckling surgery. Treatment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment improved patients' visual acuity by an average of 4.8 ETDRS letters. Intraoperatively, subretinal hemorrhage occurred in one patient. Postoperatively, interfering buckling material was removed in 24 patients (13.1%). A pars plana vitrectomy was performed in six patients (3.2%) due to epiretinal membrane, in two patients (1.1%) due to a macular hole, and in three patients (1.6%) due to disturbing vitreous opacities. CONCLUSIONS Scleral buckling surgery is an effective and relatively low complication method for the treatment of selected patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.

Comparison of treatment outcomes of 360° intraoperative laser retinopexy and focal laser retinopexy with pars plans vitrectomy in patients with primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. BMC Ophthalmol 2023; 23:73. [PMID: 36809995 PMCID: PMC9942399 DOI: 10.1186/s12886-023-02812-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2022] [Accepted: 02/08/2023] [Indexed: 02/23/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study was to compare the outcomes of 360° intra-operative laser retinopexy (ILR) and focal laser retinopexy in treating patients with pars plans vitrectomy (PPV) for primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). To identify other potential risk factors for retinal re-detachment after primary PPV. METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study. Three hundred and forty-four consecutive cases of primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment treated with PPV were included between July 2013 and July 2018. Clinical characteristics and surgical outcomes were compared between focal laser retinopexy and additional 360° intra-operative laser retinopexy groups. Both univariate and multiple variable analysis were used to identify potential risk factors for retinal re-detachment. RESULTS Median follow-up was 6.2 months (Q1, Q3:2.0, 17.2). As estimated with survival analysis, the 360º ILR group had the incidence of 9.74% and focal laser 19.54% at 6 months postoperatively. At 12 months postoperatively the difference was 10.78% vs. 25.21%. The difference in survival rates was significant (p = 0.0021). In multivariate Cox regression, the risk factors for retinal re-detachment were without additional 360° ILR, diabetes and macula off before the primary surgery (relatively OR = 0.456, 95%-CI [0.245-0.848], p < 0.05; OR = 2.301, 95% CI [1.130-4.687], p < 0.05; OR = 2.243, 95% CI [1.212-4.149], p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Additional 360° ILR group had a significantly lower rate of retinal re-detachment when compared with focal laser retinopexy group. Our study also elucidated that diabetes and macular off before the primary surgery might also be the potential risk factors for higher rate of retinal re-detachment outcome. TRIAL REGISTRATION This was a retrospective cohort study.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Retinal detachment is a sight-threatening emergency, with more than half of those affected suffering permanent visual impairment. A diagnostic test to identify eyes at risk before vision is threatened would enable exploration of prophylactic treatment. This report presents the use of irregularities in retinal shape, quantified from optical coherence tomography (OCT) images, as a biomarker for retinal detachment. METHODS OCT images were taken from posterior and mid-peripheral retina of 264 individuals [97 after a posterior vitreous detachment (PVD), 99 after vitrectomy for retinal detachment and 68 after laser for a retinal tear]. Diagnoses were taken from history, examination and OCT. Retinal irregularity was quantified in the frequency domain, and the distribution of irregularity across the regions of the eye was explored to identify features exhibiting the greatest difference between retinal detachment and PVD eyes. Two of these features plus axial length were used to train a quadratic discriminant analysis classifier. Classifier performance was assessed by its sensitivity and specificity in identifying retinal detachment eyes and visualised with a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. RESULTS Validation set specificity was 84% (44/52 PVD eyes correctly labelled) and sensitivity 35% (23/64 retinal detachment eyes identified, p = 0.02). Area under the ROC curve was 0.75 (95% confidence intervals 0.58-0.85). Retinal detachment eyes were significantly more irregular than PVD eyes in the superior retina (0.70 mm versus 0.49 mm, p < 0.05) and supero-temporal retina (1.12 mm versus 0.80 mm, p < 0.05). Lower sensitivity (16/68, 24%) was seen for eyes with a retinal tear without detachment, that were intermediate in size between retinal detachment and PVD eyes. Axial length on its own was a poor classifier. Neither irregularity nor classification were affected by surgery for retinal detachment or the development of PVD. CONCLUSIONS The classifier identified 1/3 of retinal detachment eyes in this sample. In future work, these features can be evaluated as a test for retinal detachment prior to PVD.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine the relationship between time from symptom onset or presentation to repair and visual outcomes for macula-on and macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). DESIGN Meta-analysis. METHODS We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library for randomized controlled trials and observational studies comparing best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) based on time to RRD repair. Study identifiers, baseline characteristics, intervention characteristics, and visual outcomes were extracted. We conducted a random effects meta-analysis. Sensitivity analyses included leave-1-out and influence analyses. Primary outcomes included mean difference (MD) in final BCVA, MD between preoperative and final BCVA (∆BCVA), and relative risk of final BCVA <0.4 logMAR for macula-off RRD repair in 0-3 vs 4-7 days and macula-on RRD repair in 0-24 vs >24 hours. Secondary outcomes assessed other time points. RESULTS Twenty observational studies reported on 1929 patients. Macula-off RRD repair in 0-3 days from symptom onset was superior to 4-7 days for final BCVA (MD -0.06 [95% CI -0.09, -0.03], P < .001) but was not different for ∆BCVA (P > .05). Macula-on repair in 0-24 hours from presentation was superior to >24 hours for final BCVA (MD -0.02 [95% CI -0.03, -0.01], P < .05) but was not different for ∆BCVA (P > .05). CONCLUSIONS Macula-off RRD repair in 0-3 days from symptom onset may have better final BCVA compared to repair in 4-7 days. Macula-on RRD repair in 0-24 hours of presentation may have better final BCVA compared to repair in >24 hours. These results were supported by moderate- and low-quality evidence, respectively, and may have been influenced by differences in baseline BCVA.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine factors associated with loss of good vision (defined as Snellen visual acuity [VA] < 20/40) after surgery among eyes presenting with macula-on primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) with initial VA ≥20/40. MATERIALS AND METHODS Multicenter, retrospective, cohort study of eyes undergoing scleral buckle (SB), pars plana vitrectomy (PPV), or combined pars plana vitrectomy/scleral buckle (PPV/SB) for non-complex macula-on RRD with initial VA ≥20/40. RESULTS Among 646 eyes with macula-on RRDs with initial VA ≥20/40, 106 (16.4%) had VA <20/40 (i.e. lost good vision) at final follow-up. Eyes losing good vision had slightly worse pre-operative logMAR VA (mean 0.15 ± 0.10 [20/28]) compared to eyes that preserved good vision (mean 0.11 ± 0.10 [20/26]) (p = 0.004). RRDs extending greater than 6 clock-hours were more likely to lose good vision than smaller detachments (multivariate OR 4.57 [95% CI 1.44-14.51]; p = 0.0099). Compared to eyes repaired with SB alone, eyes undergoing PPV (multivariate OR 7.22 [95% CI 2.10-24.90]; p = 0.0017) or PPV/SB (multivariate OR 10.74 [95% CI 3.20-36.11]; p = 0.0001) were each more likely to lose good vision. Eyes requiring further RRD-related (multivariate OR 8.64 [95% CI 1.47-50.66]; p < 0.017) and non-RRD related vitreoretinal surgery (multivariate OR 14.35 [95% CI 5.39-38.21]; p <0.0001) were more likely to lose good vision. CONCLUSION Among macula-on RRDs, loss of good vision was associated with worse vision on presentation, vitrectomy-based procedures, greater extent of detachment, and lack of single surgery success. Understanding predictors of visual outcome in macula-on RRD repair may guide pre-operative counseling regarding visual prognosis.

Abstract
Purpose To find predictive markers for the visual potential in optical coherence tomography (OCT) one month after surgical repair of macula-involving rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (miRD) with and without internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling. Methods This retrospective single-center, single-surgeon cohort study included 74 patients who underwent pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for primary miRD between January 2013 and August 2020 with follow-up examinations for at least 6 months. Patients developing recurrent detachments, media opacities, or with an axial length over 27 mm were excluded from the analysis. LogMAR visual (VA) and LogRAD reading acuity (RA) ± standard deviation (SD), and OCT measurements 6 months after surgery were compared to OCT and VA measurements one month after surgery using multiple linear regression analysis for predictions. Results VA increased from 0.34 ± 0.25 at one month to 0.22 ± 0.21 after 6 months [p < 0.001; effect size = -0.662, 95% confidence interval (CI): -(0.99–0.33)]. The continuity of the external limiting membrane (ELM) and ellipsoid zone (EZ) increased between 1 and 6 months. Subfoveal ELM integrity after one month predicted VA [adjusted R2 of 8.0%, F(2, 71) = 4.17, p = 0.018] and RA [adjusted R2 of 29%, F(2, 27) = 6.81, p = 0.002] after 6 months. EZ integrity had a less pronounced predictive effect on VA and RA. ELM integrity after 1 month correlated with better reading acuity after 6 months (p = 0.016). Conclusion VA and morphological OCT parameters improve between 1 and 6 months after surgery for miRD. The grade of ELM is a better predictor for RA than for VA, explaining more variance.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the effect of clinical, methodological and logistic factors on operating room (OR) efficiency in the surgical management of primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). DESIGN Monocentric retrospective register cohort study. SETTING Single tertiary centre in the western region of Austria. PARTICIPANTS We audited patients diagnosed with primary RRD who were treated between January 2014 and August 2019. In total, 783 eyes of 776 consecutive patients were included in this study. Various risk factors affecting OR time efficiency and anatomical success after pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) procedures and scleral buckle (SB) surgery were analysed. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES OR efficiency was the primary outcome measure. Secondary outcome measures were the primary success rate after PPV procedures and SB surgery. RESULTS PPV was performed in 641 (81.9%) eyes and SB surgery in 142 (18.1%) eyes. Mean surgical times in PPV and SB under retrobulbar anaesthesia (RA) were 74.0 (±32.6) min and 62.1 (±24.6) min (p<0.001), respectively, while under general anaesthesia (GA), these values were 112.0 (±52.0) min and 76.0 (±22.5) min (p<0.001), respectively. A regression analysis revealed the following main risk factors for prolonged OR time for the surgical management of RRD with PPV (all p<0.001): presence of a giant tear (β=24.01; 32%), proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR)-C (β=16.43; 22%), surgery postponed for 72 hours after diagnosis (β=21.40; 29%), GA (β=23.64; 32%) or surgery performed by a trainee (β=17.35; 23%). PVR (p=0.022) in PPV cases, after-hours settings (p=0.006) and surgeon experience (p=0.030) in SB cases were independent risk factors for reduced success rates. CONCLUSIONS OR coordinators should consider various independent clinical (giant tear, PVR-C, advanced detachment), methodological (PPV vs SB) and logistic (GA vs RA, after-hours setting and surgeon experience) factors to improve the success rate and surgical management planning of RRD accurately while optimising OR resources and staff efficiency.

Br J Ophthalmol 2021; 106:857-862.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS To assess the anatomical and visual results of uncomplicated phakic macula-on retinal detachment (RD) in patients treated with pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) or scleral buckling (SB). METHODS A retrospective cohort of patients aged <65 years and diagnosed with uncomplicated phakic macula-on primary RD, who were registered in the Japan-Retinal Detachment Registry, was compiled between February 2016 and March 2017. We performed propensity score matching using preoperative findings and surgeon-related factors as covariates to account for relevant confounders. The primary outcome was anatomical failures at 6 months postoperatively, classified as follows: level 1, an inoperable state; level 2, anatomical recovery with silicone oil tamponade; and level 3, need for additional surgery to repair the detachments. The secondary outcome was change in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA). RESULTS Of the 822 included patients, 552 underwent PPV and 270 underwent SB. After propensity score matching, 137 matched cases between the PPV and SB groups were analysed. The total proportion of surgical failures in the PPV group was higher than that in the SB group (risk difference, 0.10 (0.02 to 0.18), p=0.011, McNemar's test). Conversely, the change in BCVA was not significantly different between the two groups (logMAR units, -0.015 (-0.084 to 0.053), p=0.66, paired samples t-test). CONCLUSIONS Although the indications for PPV are becoming broader, PPV may not be the optimal approach for repairing all types of RD. Therefore, careful consideration is needed when selecting the right surgical technique for treating uncomplicated phakic macula-on RD cases.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine predictive factors of proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) formation after uncomplicated primary retinal detachment repair. METHODS Retrospective, single-center, case-control study of 74 consecutive patients with (37 eyes) and without (37 eyes) PVR formation after undergoing uncomplicated primary surgery for retinal detachment repair. Logistic regression was used to assess factors associated with PVR formation. RESULTS Retinal detachment involving the macula was 4.2 times (adjusted odds ratio; 95% confidence interval, 1.4-12.9; P = 0.0119) more likely to have PVR formation compared with those without. Patients who were current or former smokers were 3.6 times (adjusted odds ratio; 95% confidence interval, 1.1-11.7; P = 0.0352) more likely to have PVR formation compared with nonsmokers. Compared with 25-gauge (g) vitrectomy, larger gauge vitrectomy (20 g or 23 g) was 3.6 times (adjusted odds ratio; 95% confidence interval, 1.2-11.3; P = 0.0276) more likely to have PVR formation. Duration of retinal detachment symptoms, high myopia, lens status, lattice degeneration, location of retinal break, number of retinal breaks, and surgical technique (e.g., scleral buckle with or without vitrectomy versus vitrectomy alone) were not found to be predictive of PVR formation. CONCLUSION Cigarette smoking and macular involvement are significant risk factors predictive of PVR formation after uncomplicated primary retinal detachment repair.

Abstract
Introduction Scleral buckle surgery retains a special place in treatment of retinal detachment despite development of new and advanced vitreoretinal surgical techniques. The outcome of any retinal detachment surgery depends on correct selection of patient, type and nature of detachment, and the expertise. This study aims to evaluate various other parameters that determine the outcome of scleral buckle surgery. Method Records of 55 patients with primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment treated with scleral buckling over a duration of 18 months that had a minimum of 3-month follow-up were retrospectively reviewed. Preoperative and postoperative characteristics were recorded. Parameters that were evaluated to determine the outcome were best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), anatomical success, and complications. Results A total of 51 eyes of 50 patients that met the inclusion criteria were included. Mean age was 41 ± 19.9 years (range: 9 to 83). Primary anatomical success was achieved in 80.4%. Parameters significantly associated with the anatomical outcome of surgery were status of lens, preoperative visual acuity, and extent of retinal detachment. There was a significant improvement of visual acuity postoperatively. Conclusion Scleral buckle surgery is a highly effective surgery in uncomplicated retinal detachment cases, and single surgery success rates are better in cases with good preoperative visual acuity, partial detachment, and clear crystalline lens.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of the study was to evaluate the anatomical success of surgical management of primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) and to compare the anatomical outcomes from different surgical techniques. METHODS During 2012, 517 consecutive eyes (514 patients) were operated by 11 surgeons at the Department of Ophthalmology, Oslo University Hospital. Patient records were retrospectively analysed with no exclusions. Main outcome measures were primary and final anatomical success. Primary anatomical success was defined as retinal reattachment 6 months after primary surgery with reoperations excluded. Final anatomical success was defined as retinal reattachment 6 months after primary surgery with reoperations included. RESULTS Incidence of RRD was 18.6 eyes per 100 000 person-years. The macula was detached in 50.5% of the eyes at baseline. Of 517 operated eyes, 317 (61.3%) underwent pars plana vitrectomy (PPV), 23 (4.5%) pars plana vitrectomy together with a scleral buckle (PPV-SB), 175 (33.9%) scleral buckle (SB) surgery and two (0.4%) pneumatic retinopexy (PR). Primary anatomical success was 89.0% in the PPV group, 87.0% in the PPV-SB group and 85.7% in the SB group. Final anatomical success was 98.1% in the PPV group, 100% in the PPV-SB group and 99.4% in the SB group. Factors which were correlated to the redetachment were detachment of more than 6 clock hours (p = 0.003) and visual acuity (VA) on Snellen chart <0.5 (p = 0.02) at baseline. CONCLUSION This study showed no significant differences in the surgical success rates in the treatment of RRD between pars plana vitrectomy, scleral buckle or the combined procedure of vitrectomy and buckle. Factors which were found to be correlated to the redetachment of the retina were large detachment and low VA.

Abstract
PURPOSE To present and analyze the anatomical and functional outcomes for scleral buckling (SB) in a group of patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment without posterior vitreous detachment. METHODS A total of 244 patients underwent SB from 2005 through 2014 by a single surgeon (A.W.E.). Forty patients (45 eyes) were identified as fulfilling the criteria of presenting with a rhegmatogenous retinal detachment without posterior vitreous detachment. Visual outcomes, preoperative retinal findings, and the SB technique were analyzed. The main outcome measure was the primary reattachment rate at 6 months after single surgery. RESULTS The mean age was 29 years (range 11-51 years). The mean follow-up period was 20 months. The mean refractive error was -5.16 diopters. Subretinal fluid drainage was performed in 17 eyes (37.8%). The anatomical success rate after single SB surgery at 6 months was 91.1%. The only factor that had statistically significant correlation with primary anatomical failure was development of subretinal hemorrhage during the drainage procedure (P = 0.03). CONCLUSION Despite an increasing trend toward primary vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, an indication for SB is in younger patients without a preexisting posterior vitreous detachment. We showed a 91.1% success rate with a primary SB and 100% with a second surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE To systematically review the influence of the lag time between macula-off retinal detachment and surgical intervention on postoperative visual acuity as main outcome measure. METHODS Systematic review and meta-analysis of articles published from 1995 to October 2013 of patients with macula-off retinal detachment and treated with scleral buckling or pars plana vitrectomy. Eligible data were pooled in a meta-analysis, analyzing the odds ratio between different durations of ≤ 3, ≤ 4, ≤ 7, and ≤ 10 days, comparing a final visual acuity of ≤ 0.4 logMAR with >0.4 logMAR, using a random-effects model. Last, the number needed to treat was calculated. RESULTS Fourteen articles were eligible, of which 9 studies contained data that were suitable for meta-analysis. Patients who were operated with scleral buckling (n = 602) within 3 days since macular detachment had a statistically significant better chance of reaching a final visual acuity of 0.4 logMAR or better compared with a longer duration of macular detachment, with an odds ratio for ≤ 3 days versus 4 days to 7 days of 2.86 (95% confidence interval, 1.37-5.99) and an odds ratio for ≤ 3 days versus >3 days of 3.09 (95% confidence interval, 1.56-6.12), and with a number needed to treat of 4. For pars plana vitrectomy, the limited amount of data precluded a meta-analysis with substantial results. CONCLUSION This meta-analysis suggests that scleral buckling for macular detachment must preferably be performed within 3 days to optimize visual outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment is the most common retinological emergency threatening vision, with an incidence of 1 in 10 000 persons per year, corresponding to about 8000 new cases in Germany annually. Without treatment, blindness in the affected eye may result. METHOD Selective review of the literature. RESULTS Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment typically presents with the perception of light flashes, floaters, or a "dark curtain." In most cases, the retinal tear is a consequence of degeneration of the vitreous body. Epidemiologic studies have identified myopia and prior cataract surgery as the main risk factors. Persons in the sixth and seventh decades of life are most commonly affected. Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment is an emergency, and all patients should be seen by an ophthalmologist on the same day that symptoms arise. The treatment consists of scleral buckle, removal of the vitreous body (vitrectomy), or a combination of the two. Anatomical success rates are in the range of 85% to 90%. Vitrectomy is followed by lens opacification in more than 70% of cases. The earlier the patient is seen by an ophthalmologist, the greater the chance that the macula is still attached, so that visual acuity can be preserved. CONCLUSION Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment is among the main emergency indications in ophthalmology. In all such cases, an ophthalmologist must be consulted at once.

Abstract
PURPOSE Recently, an increasing number of ophthalmologists are using vitrectomy as the first line of treatment for retinal detachment (RD). The purpose of the present study was to determine the cutoff time of duration of macular detachment (DMD) after which postoperative best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) decreases sharply in eyes treated with primary vitrectomy. DESIGN This was a retrospective, noncomparative, interventional case series. METHODS Fifty-six eyes with macula-on RD and 126 eyes with bullous macula-off RD. RESULTS Mean postoperative BCVA showed a statistically significant decrease when DMD exceeded 10 days (P = 0.009) with vitrectomy/phacovitrectomy as the primary mode of treatment, which was comparable to previous studies using scleral buckling. Approximately 90% (88%-93%) of eyes achieved a postoperative 20/40 BCVA when DMD was 2 days or less, after which the ratio decreased (P = 0.008) but plateaued around 40% until DMD reached 10 days. On the other hand, only 5.6% of (7/126) eyes with DMD of 3 days or less achieved a postoperative 20/20 BCVA. CONCLUSIONS As with scleral buckling, the mean postoperative BCVA in eyes with bullous macula-off RD treated with primary vitrectomy/phacovitrectomy dropped significantly when DMD exceeded 10 days. To achieve a good postoperative visual acuity (20/40), urgent surgery with a DMD of 2 days or less is desired. Operative repair within this period, rather than outright emergency surgery, may be appropriate for most cases.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the anatomical success rates of scleral buckling (SB) and pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) performed for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) in a large case series and to identify prognostic factors for the primary anatomical success rates of surgical techniques. METHODS We reviewed 542 consecutive eyes for primary RRD in this retrospective study. Follow-ups were performed for at least six months. In each of the two groups, 271 eyes were examined. The main outcome measure was the primary anatomical success rate. Multivariate analysis was also performed to determine whether independent risk factors of the preoperative parameters for redetachment exist. RESULTS The primary anatomical success rates were 93.7% and 96.3% in the SB and PPV groups; and the final anatomical success rates were 100% in both groups (each with 271 eyes). In the SB group, eyes with macula-off had significantly lower primary anatomical success rates than those with macula-on (p = 0.002). Preoperative break location or lens status had no significant effect on primary anatomical success rates in either group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis using four variables, namely, sex, posterior vitreous detachment, macular status and preoperative visual acuity, showed that the macular status was an independent risk factor for redetachment in the SB group (p = 0.039, odds ratio 3.7). The six-month follow-up visual acuity was significantly better than the preoperative visual acuity in both groups (p ≤ 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Both SB and PPV gave excellent primary and final anatomical success rates. The macula-off status was associated with a lower success rate in the SB group, although break location and lens status had no significant effect on success rates in either group.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate risk factors for failure of scleral buckling in rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) in an adult Moroccan population. METHODS A retrospective study of 432 eyes of 422 patients undergoing scleral buckling (SB) for primary RRD between 2001 and 2009 was carried out. Statistical analysis of risk factors for failure was performed using binary logistic regression. RESULTS Mean patient age was 43 ± 15 years, and 45.4% were myopic. The median recurrence was at 10 months. The final failure rate was 22.5%. Univariate analysis shows that significant risk factors for failure were extent of RRD ≥ 3 quadrants (P<0.001), advanced PVR (P<0.001) and worsening PVR postoperatively (P<0.001). In the multivariate model, the only significant risk factor for failure was the worsening postoperative PVR (P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that worsening of PVR after surgery is the major risk factor for failure of SB in RRD. Thus, it is necessary to recognize the risk factors contributing to PVR and to plan the most appropriate, earliest and least traumatic surgical treatment of RRD.

Abstract
Crataegus species have been widely used in herbal medicine, especially for the hearth diseases. In the present study, the effect of Crataegus aronia var. dentata Browicz extract on partially hepatectomized rats was investigated with biochemical and TUNEL apoptosis assays. The extracts of the plant at the concentrations of 0.5 and 1 ml/100 g body weight/day were administered orally to the two experimental groups including partially hepatectomized rats for 42 days. At the end of the experimental period, animals were sacrificed, blood was collected for the assessment of serum levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), and the liver tissue was used for TUNEL assay. In biochemical assay, it was found a significant decrease in the levels of serum ALT and AST in the experimental groups. On the other hand, the plant extract did not cause any significant changes in the level of GGT in these groups. In apoptosis assay, TUNEL positive hepatocytes could not be detected in both experimental groups. The present findings can suggest that Crataegus aronia var. dentata Browicz extract can decrease the levels of serum ALT and AST and play a role in apoptosis of hepatocytes in the liver of partially hepatectomized rats. However, further studies are required to confirm the effects of the plant extract on hepatoprotection and apoptosis in the regenerating liver after partial hepatectomy in animal models.

Abstract
Purpose. To analyse variations in the anatomical and functional outcomes and in proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) rate of a prospective multicentric study that was primarily designed for identification of clinical risk factors for PVR. Methods. 1,046 retinal detachment (RD) cases were analysed. Cases were divided into two series based upon variation in PVR rate determined by logistic regression analysis. Series 1 (S1) included RD treated during 2004-2005 (n = 481) and Series 2 (S2) during 2006–2008 (n = 565). Pre-, intra-, and postoperative characteristics were recorded. Results. There were few differences in the preoperative characteristics. S2 had more vitrectomies and scleral bands and fewer explants and associated cataract extractions than S1. Anatomic reattachment improved from 87.9% to 92.9% in S1 and S2, respectively, (P = 0.006). Visual acuity at 3 months ≥20/40 increased from 36.5% of S1 to 44.2% in S2 (P = 0.049). PVR rate diminished from 14.1% in S1 to 8.1% in S2 (P = 0.002). Centres with higher rates of PVR in S1 showed the greatest reductions in S2. Conclusion. An improvement in anatomical and functional outcome and PVR rate occurred in participating centres cannot be attributed to the learning curve of surgeons. We speculated that it could be an effect of their participation in the study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgery for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) should usually be performed as soon as possible. However, a risk of operating in an emergency setting has to be considered against the risk of delaying it. METHODS In a retrospective, interventional, non-comparative clinical case series we reviewed the charts of all patients who underwent surgery for primary noncomplex RRD between February 1999 and July 2009. The primary anatomical success (PAS) of RRD surgery was the primary outcome measure, which was defined as permanent reattachment of the retina after a single surgical procedure. All cases were classified as (I) surgical cases, which were performed as emergency procedures the night of the patient's admission to the hospital (emergency setting), and as (II) those cases, which were operated in a routine setting during daytime (routine setting). Visual acuity was documented 2 and 6 months after surgery RESULTS 1810 cases of primary noncomplex RRD were analysed. PAS rates were 88.0 % in the routine setting and 87.3 % in the emergency setting (p = 0.67). While expert surgeons' PAS rates did not differ between routine and emergency, non-experts achieved inferior anatomical results, when performing surgery in the emergency setting (81.6 % vs. 88.3 %; p = 0.02). There was no difference between expert (87.7 %) and non-expert surgeons (88.6 %) in the routine setting (p = 0.75). There was no statistically significant difference in visual acuity. CONCLUSIONS Prompt RRD surgery in an emergency setting did not improve the anatomical outcome and was worse if performed by non-expert surgeons. The possibility to schedule surgery may improve delivery of care without compromising the outcome. Although we did not see a significant functional difference, there was a trend for better visual acuity for experts and routine setting. If one decides that prompt surgery is necessary, it should only be done by an experienced vitreoretinal surgeon.
