Quiroz-Reyes MA, Babar ZUD, Hussain R, Loh ZC, Quiroz-Gonzalez EA, Quiroz-Gonzalez MA, Lima-Gomez V. Management, risk factors and treatment outcomes of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment associated with giant retinal tears: scoping review. Int J Retina Vitreous 2024; 10:35. [PMID: 38654369 PMCID: PMC11036595 DOI: 10.1186/s40942-024-00552-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2024] [Accepted: 03/27/2024] [Indexed: 04/25/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) is a serious condition that occurs when the retina detaches from its underlying retinal pigment epithelium. RRDs associated with giant retinal tears (GRTs) are caused by retinal tears at least 90° or one-quarter of the circumferential extent. This scoping review systematically identifies and summarizes clinical studies evaluating surgical techniques for the management of GRT-related RRDs, discusses functional and visual outcomes and the risk factors affecting treatment outcomes. METHODS This study was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, and Springer Link databases were searched for relevant papers (from January 2001 to March 2023). Studies that were published in the English language and reported the risk factors, management, and treatment outcomes of GRT-related RRDs were included in the review. The outcome measures included anatomic success rates, changes in BCVA (logMAR) from baseline to the final follow-up, and adverse events. RESULTS A total of 11,982 articles were identified. After the title and abstract review, 71 studies were deemed eligible for full-text review. Thirty-six studies that met the eligibility criteria were included in the final review. Four surgical techniques were identified: pars plana vitrectomy (PPV), combined PPV and scleral buckling, scleral buckling alone, and pneumatic retinopexy. Various types of tamponades, including gas, silicone oil, and air, have been used. PPV was the most commonly used surgical technique in 33.1-100% of patients. Among the 20 studies that used PPV alone, 17 were associated with preoperative PVR. In addition, scleral buckling alone or in combination with PPV was reported as a treatment option in 10 studies, with 2-100% of patients experiencing scleral buckling alone and 13.6-100% experiencing combined PPV and complementary scleral buckling. Primary anatomic success (PAS) was achieved with retinal reattachment via a single operation with no residual tamponade, whereas final anatomic success (FAS) was achieved via more than one operation with no residual tamponade. Reported single surgery anatomic success (SSAS) rates range from 65.51 to 100%. The preoperative best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) ranged from 0.067 to 2.47 logMAR, whereas the postoperative BCVA ranged from 0.08 to 2.3 logMAR. An improvement in visual acuity was observed in 29 studies. Cataracts (3.9-28.3%) were the most common postoperative complication, followed by high IOP (0.01-51.2%) and PVR (0.8-31.57%). CONCLUSION PPV is the most common surgical technique, and currently microincision vitrectomy surgery (MIVS) systems are commonly employed. Silicone oil is the most frequently used tamponade in RRD repair. Risk factors for GRT-related RRD include age, sex, lens status, high myopia status, proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR), presenting visual acuity, the extent of the GRT and retinal detachment, and macular involvement. Future research areas include guidelines to reduce variability in the reporting of surgical methodology, choice of tamponades, and reporting of functional and visual outcomes to inform the best therapeutic interventions in GRT-related RRD.

Abstract
We investigated the impact of drainage retinotomy on the outcome of pars plana vitrectomy for repair of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). This study was a retrospective observational multicenter study. All patients were registered with the Japan-Retinal Detachment Registry. We analyzed 1887 eyes with RRD that had undergone vitrectomy and were observed for 6 months between February 2016 and March 2017. We compared the baseline characteristics and postoperative outcomes between eyes with and without drainage retinectomy. We then performed propensity score matching using preoperative findings as covariates to adjust for relevant confounders. Of 3446 eyes, 1887 met the inclusion criteria. Among them, 559 eyes underwent vitrectomy with drainage retinotomy, and 1328 eyes underwent vitrectomy without drainage retinotomy. After propensity score matching, each group comprised 544 eyes. There was no significant difference between the two groups in BCVA at 6 months after vitrectomy (0.181 vs. 0.166, P = 0.23), the primary anatomical success rate (6.3% vs. 4.4%, P = 0.22), or the rate of secondary surgery for ERM within 6 months (1.5% vs. 1.3%, P = 1.0). Drainage retinectomy does not increase the risk of decreased postoperative BCVA, surgical failure, or secondary surgery for ERM within six months outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Epiretinal membrane (ERM) causes visual impairment such as reduction in visual acuity and metamorphopsia due to retinal traction. With the improvement of optical coherence tomography (OCT) and microincision vitrectomy surgery (MIVS), the surgery of ERM has significantly advanced. However, there have been no large-scale studies on the following: (1) how to evaluate visual impairment in ERM, (2) the relationship between OCT findings and visual function, (3) when is the optimal timing of surgery, and (4) the relationship between the surgical instruments as well as techniques and prognosis. The purpose of this study was to obtain evidence regarding these ERM surgeries. METHODS AND DESIGN This is a prospective, multicenter cohort study of ERM surgery in Japan from March 1, 2023, to March 31, 2027 (UMIN000048472, R-3468-2). Patients who underwent ERM surgery during the study period and agreed to participate in this study will be included. The goal is to have a total of 5,000 eyes surgically treated for ERM. The following data will be collected: age, gender, medical history, subjective symptoms, visual function before and 6 and 12 months after surgery, clinical findings, OCT data, surgical technique, instruments used in surgery, and complications. DISCUSSION The results of this study will support the surgical decisions and procedures in ERM practices.

Br J Ophthalmol 2023; 107:1472-1477. [PMID: 35728937 DOI: 10.1136/bjophthalmol-2022-321357] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2022] [Accepted: 05/22/2022] [Indexed: 01/13/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS To determine the incidence and causative pathogens of endophthalmitis after vitrectomy during strict face mask wearing in the COVID-19 period. METHODS This was a retrospective multicentre study including 31 ophthalmological institutions of the Japanese Retina and Vitreous Society or Japan-Clinical Retina Study group. Patients who had undergone vitrectomy during 2019, the pre-COVID-19 period, and from July 2020 to June 2021, the COVID-mask period, were studied. The results of cataract surgery were used as a control. The total number of vitrectomies and the total number of postoperative endophthalmitis were determined. Then, the differences in the incidence of postoperative endophthalmitis between the pre-COVID-19 period and the COVID-mask period, and the type of pathogens causing the endophthalmitis were studied. RESULTS The incidence of postvitrectomy endophthalmitis was significantly lower in the pre-COVID-19 period with 16 568 surgeries and 18 endophthalmitis cases (0.11%) than in the COVID-mask period of 14 929 surgeries and 31 endophthalmitis cases (0.21%; p=0.031, OR=1.913, 95% CI 1.078 to 3.394). In the pre-COVID-19 period, 4 of the 18 eyes were culture positive, and all were of the Staphylococcus family. In the COVID-mask period, 9 of the 31 eyes were culture positive, and 4 cases were related to oral commensals including Streptococcus spp, which are reportedly very rare in endophthalmitis after vitrectomy. CONCLUSIONS It is necessary for physicians to be aware of the higher incidence of postvitrectomy endophthalmitis during the COVID-mask period, and to treat their patients appropriately.

Abstract
Refractive lens exchange (RLE) allows to correct ametropias and presbyopia by replacing the crystalline lens with an extended depth of focus or multifocal intraocular lens (IOL). Retinal detachment (RD) is one of the most serious adverse events after RLE. This study aimed to review the evidence related to the risk of RD after RLE and clinical outcomes. A search using PubMed and a snowball search approach was conducted to identify articles and case reports. According to the literature, the risks of RD should be considered in patients <60 years old with axial lengths >23 mm. Only nine articles reported visual acuity (VA) after RD in RLE, and only 25% of eyes had a VA > 20/40. Considering that the decrease in VA might be uniform for all types of IOLs after RD, surgeons should focus on selecting the patient to prevent RD rather than on a particular IOL optical design based on the potential risk of DR.

Abstract
Purpose Retinal detachment (RD) is a sight-threatening ocular disease caused by separation of the neurosensory retina from the underlying retinal pigment epithelium layer. Its genetic basis is unclear because of a limited amount of data. In this study, we aimed to identify genetic risk loci associated with RD in participants without diabetes mellitus and to construct a polygenic risk score (PRS) to predict the risk of RD. Methods A genome-wide association study was conducted using data from the Taiwan Biobank to identify RD risk loci. A total of 1533 RD cases and 106,270 controls were recruited, all of whom were Han Chinese. Replication studies were performed using data from the UK Biobank and Biobank Japan. To construct the PRS, a traditional clumping and thresholding method was performed and validated by fivefold cross-validation. Results Two novel loci with significant associations were identified. These two genes were TMEM132D (lead single nucleotide polymorphism [SNP]: rs264498, adjusted-P = 7.18 × 10-9) and VIPR2 (lead SNP: rs3812305, adjusted-P = 8.38 × 10-9). The developed PRS was effective in discriminating individuals at high risk of RD with a dose-response relationship. The quartile with the highest risk had an odds ratio of 1244.748 compared to the lowest risk group (95% confidence interval, 175.174-8844.892). Conclusions TMEM132D and VIPR2 polymorphisms are genetic candidates linked to RD in Han Chinese populations. Our proposed PRS was effective at discriminating high-risk from low-risk individuals.

Effect of Duration of Macular Detachment on Visual Prognosis after Surgery for Macula-Off Retinal Detachment: Japan-Retinal Detachment Registry. Ophthalmol Retina 2023; 7:375-382. [PMID: 36707048 DOI: 10.1016/j.oret.2023.01.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2022] [Revised: 01/05/2023] [Accepted: 01/18/2023] [Indexed: 01/26/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the association between the duration of macular detachment (DMD) and visual prognosis in patients with macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RD). DESIGN Prospective observational cohort study. PARTICIPANTS This study analyzed 719 eyes with macula-off rhegmatogenous RD registered with the Japan-Retinal Detachment Registry created by the Japan Retina and Vitreous Society. METHODS We included patients with macular detachment without a history of prior surgery, except cataract surgery and vitrectomy. Reoperation cases, hereditary RD, and macular hole RD were excluded. We compared the visual prognosis between patients with DMD of N days or less and those with DMD of N + 1 days or more (N = 2-5). For these 4 comparisons, the inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) methodology was employed, to balance 20 baseline characteristics between the shorter and longer DMD groups. The baseline characteristics included age, sex, axial length, baseline visual acuity, operative procedures, and detailed characteristics of RD. P-values < 0.01 were considered statistically significant. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) 6 months after surgery. RESULTS The final analysis included 719 eyes. For all comparisons, the patients' backgrounds were well balanced after IPTW with standardized differences < 0.10. The IPTW regression analysis revealed that the BCVA after 6 months was significantly better after surgeries for DMD of ≤ 2 days than that for DMD of ≥ 3 days. Similarly, the 6-month BCVA for surgeries for DMD of ≤ 3 days was significantly better than that for surgeries for DMD of ≥ 4 days (differences in logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution: -0.113, P = 9.1 × 10-7; -0.076, P = 1.6 × 10-3, respectively). On the other hand, there were no statistically significant differences for the other comparisons. CONCLUSIONS Earlier surgical treatment within 3 days from the onset of macular detachment should be considered, after accounting for social circumstances, such as weekends.

Abstract
TOPIC To evaluate the prognostic association between preoperative features seen on OCT imaging and postoperative visual acuity (VA) outcomes in rhegmatogenous retinal detachments (RRDs). CLINICAL RELEVANCE Currently, there is limited literature on the prognostic value of preoperative RRD OCT features. METHODS A literature search was conducted on Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid Embase, and Cochrane CENTRAL from inception to September 15, 2022. A meta-analysis was performed using a random-effects model. Quality of studies and evidence were assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute tools and the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation framework, respectively. RESULTS A total of 1671 eyes of 1670 patients from 29 observational studies were included. Of these, 89% of eyes had a macula-off RRD at presentation. The mean average duration of detachment was 15 ± 10 days. Most eyes (62%) underwent pars plana vitrectomy. Six preoperative OCT features were analyzed: height of retinal detachment (HRD) at the fovea, central macular thickness (CMT), disruption of the ellipsoid zone (EZ) and/or external limiting membrane (ELM), intraretinal cystic cavities (ICCs), outer retinal corrugations (ORCs), and macular detachment. A greater HRD was weakly associated with postoperative VA (Pearson correlation r = 0.35; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.20-0.48; P < 0.01), and there was no change in this association throughout the postoperative follow-up period. The CMT was not associated with postoperative VA. Eyes with disruption of the EZ and/or ELM had a postoperative VA worse by 0.35 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) (95% CI, 0.15-0.54; P < 0.01) or 3 Snellen lines. Eyes with ICCs had a postoperative VA worse by 0.14 logMAR (95% CI, 0.01-0.26; P < 0.01) or 2 Snellen lines. Eyes with ORCs did not have a significantly different postoperative VA than eyes without ORCs. Eyes with macular detachment had a postoperative VA worse by 0.15 logMAR (95% CI, -0.31 to 0.00; P = 0.02) or 2 Snellen lines. Overall, the quality of studies ranged from moderate to good (73%-100%). All associations had a low quality of evidence, with CMT being of very low quality. CONCLUSION Despite the low quality of evidence, a greater HRD, disruption of the EZ and/or ELM, presence of ICCs, and macular detachment were associated with a poor postoperative VA. We propose a standardized nomenclature for consistency and accuracy in reporting preoperative RRD OCT features for future studies.

Pars Plana Vitrectomy with and without Supplemental Scleral Buckle for the Repair of Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment: A Meta-analysis. Ophthalmol Retina 2022; 6:871-885. [PMID: 35227949 DOI: 10.1016/j.oret.2022.02.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2021] [Revised: 02/06/2022] [Accepted: 02/18/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
TOPIC It is unclear whether there are differences in safety and efficacy between pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) alone and PPV with a supplemental scleral buckle (SB; PPV-SB) for the treatment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. CLINICAL RELEVANCE This meta-analysis aimed to compare the safety and efficacy of these surgical procedures. METHODS In this meta-analysis, Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Library were systematically searched (January 2000-June 2021). The primary outcome was the final best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), whereas the secondary outcomes were reattachment rates and complications. The risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and the risk of bias in nonrandomized studies of interventions tool for nonrandomized studies. RESULTS This study included 15 661 eyes from 38 studies (32 observational studies and 6 RCTs). The median follow-up duration was 6 months. The final BCVA was similar between PPV and PPV-SB (weighted mean difference [WMD], -0.03 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution [-0.14 to 0.07]; P = 0.55). There was a significant difference in the single-operation success rate (SOSR) (88.2% versus 86.3%; relative risk [RR], 0.97 [0.95-1.00]; P = 0.03), favoring PPV-SB; however, there was no significant difference in the final reattachment rate (RR, 1.00 [0.99-1.01]; P = 0.56). Pars plana vitrectomy required a significantly higher number of operations to achieve final anatomical reattachment (WMD, 0.13 [0.02-0.24]; P = 0.02). In terms of complications, PPV was significantly less likely to be associated with macular edema (RR, 0.47 [0.25-0.88]; P = 0.02) and epiretinal membrane formation (RR, 0.70 [0.52-0.94]; P = 0.02), but these differences were no longer significant in studies published after 2010 or in RCTs. Significant proliferative vitreoretinopathy, lens status, and macular attachment status did not mediate differences in these effects. CONCLUSIONS There were no significant differences in the final visual acuity outcomes between PPV and PPV-SB. Pars plana vitrectomy with supplemental SB was associated with a greater SOSR than standalone PPV, although the magnitude of the effect was small, with a high number needed to treat. The final reattachment rate was similar. In recent studies and in RCTs, the risk of complications was similar between the procedures.

Acta Ophthalmol 2022; 100:e1617-e1623. [PMID: 35415895 DOI: 10.1111/aos.15143] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2021] [Revised: 01/22/2022] [Accepted: 03/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of the study was to describe vitreoretinal surgery activity and vitreoretinal surgeons in private or public practice in metropolitan France over the year 2016 to anticipate surgical training needs. METHODS Patients aged ≥20 years who had undergone vitreoretinal surgery, alone or combined with cataract surgery were included using the French National Healthcare system database. For surgery performed by ophthalmologists carrying out ≥50 procedures during the year, the incidence per 100 000 of population ≥ 20 years of age, the number and mean age of surgeons and the number of surgeons aged >55 years were calculated. RESULTS Overall, 57 947 posterior segment surgical procedures were included, 40% in the public sector and 49% in the private sector for private surgeons and/or public centres performing ≥50 procedures/year. The remaining 11% of procedures were from private surgeons and/or public centres performing <50 procedures/year. The analysis included 356 surgeons with a mean age of 41 ± 10 years (39% female) in the public sector and 47 ± 10 years (14% female) in the private sector. The majority of urgent surgery was for retinal detachment (n = 30 290 [52% of total surgical procedures]). Scheduled surgery involved surgery for macular holes and epiretinal membranes (n = 16 454 [28% of total surgical procedures]). Combined vitrectomy-phacoemulsification surgery (n = 10 120) represented 17% of all vitreoretinal surgery. University regions with the fewest surgeons and regions with surgeons >55 years of age were identified, to anticipate the training need for new surgeons. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated disparities in the geographic distribution of vitreoretinal surgery in France and identified regions that need increased training capacities to ensure a sufficient number of surgeons.

Effect of surgeon-related factors on outcome of retinal detachment surgery: analyses of data in Japan-retinal detachment registry. Sci Rep 2022; 12:4213. [PMID: 35273253 PMCID: PMC8913601 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-07838-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2021] [Accepted: 02/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/08/2022] Open
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of surgeon-related factors on the surgical outcome of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and scleral buckling (SB) surgery on eyes with a rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). This was a nationwide, multicenter, observational study of the data in the Japan-RD Registry. Registered cases that had undergone surgery for a RRD by 128 accredited surgeons in 26 institutions were studied. The surgeon-related factors that significantly affected surgical success and visual outcomes of simple RRD treated by PPV or SB at 6 months postoperatively were analyzed and compared. Among 3446 registered cases, 2533 cases met the inclusion criteria with 1896 in the PPV group and 637 cases in the SB group. The median total number of lifetime cases was 150 and the rate of surgeries/year was 22. Multivariate regression analyses showed that the number and rate of surgeries/year were not significantly associated with the surgical outcome in the PPV group. However, surgeons with a higher average annual number of surgeries had significantly better surgical outcomes in the SB group (P = 0.038). Analyses of a nationwide registry showed that SB but not PPV surgeries require sufficient experience and case numbers to acquire and maintain skills to treat RRDs successfully.

Abstract
Pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and scleral buckling (SB) are two of the most common surgical treatments for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). This meta-analysis compares the efficacy and safety of PPV and SB for RRD. A systematic literature review was performed using Ovid MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane CENTRAL from 2000 to June 2021. Comparative studies, randomized controlled trials and observational studies investigating PPV and SB for RRD repair were included. The primary endpoint was final best- corrected visual acuity (BCVA). Secondary endpoints were reattachment rates, total operation time, and incidence of adverse events. Subgroup analyses including phakic status, presence of PVR-C or greater at baseline, and macular attachment status were conducted. Across 41 studies (8 RCTs, 33 observational studies), 5,401 SB and 10,546 PPV eyes were included. SB achieved a statistically significant, but likely not clinically significant, better final BCVA than PPV (0.38 ± 0.53 vs. 0.33 ± 0.53 logMAR (20/48 vs. 20/43 Snellen); weighted mean difference [WMD]: 0.07; 95% confidence interval: [0.02-0.11]; P=0.005). SB had a better final BCVA compared to PPV in observational studies (P=0.007) but not in RCTs (P=0.21). SB had a lower incidence of post-operative cataract formation (P<0.00001) and iatrogenic breaks (P<0.00001), but a higher incidence of choroidal hemorrhage (P=0.007), choroidal detachment (P=0.004), and residual subretinal fluid (RSRF) (P<0.00001). Primary (86.5% vs. 84.8%; P=0.13) and final (96.7% vs. 97.7%; P=0.12) reattachment rates were similar between PPV and SB. PPV had a significantly higher primary reattachment rate in RCTs (P=0.02) but not in observational studies (P=0.30). SB was associated with a better final BCVA than PPV; however, this result was primarily driven by observational studies and phakic patients who developed cataracts. Primary and final reattachment rates were similar between the comparators. SB was associated with a significantly lower incidence of iatrogenic breaks and cataracts, while PPV was associated with a reduced risk of choroidal detachment, subretinal hemorrhage, and RSRF.

Regional and sex differences in retinal detachment surgery: Japan-retinal detachment registry report. Sci Rep 2021; 11:20611. [PMID: 34663850 PMCID: PMC8523544 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-00186-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2021] [Accepted: 09/30/2021] [Indexed: 11/08/2022] Open
Abstract
It is known that social factors affect the choice of treatments, and special attention has been paid to sex differences. The purpose of this study was to determine whether regional and sex differences exist in the treatment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RD). We used Japan-RD Registry database of 2523 patients aged ≥ 40 years between February 2016 and March 2017 in 5 Japanese regions. Regional differences of patients' perioperative factors were analyzed. The factors affecting the proportion of patients who underwent surgery within one week of the onset, defined as early-surgery, were examined by logistic regression. We observed regional differences in perioperative factors, especially in the use of phacovitrectomy, general anesthesia, and air-tamponade, which was higher in certain regions. (Fisher's exact test, all P = 0.012) The proportion of early-surgery was significantly higher among men in Kyushu region (Odds ratio (OR) 1.83; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.08-3.12; P = 0.02), and it was also significantly higher after adjusting for covariates (OR 1.89; 95% CI 1.06-3.42; P = 0.02). Regional and sex differences exist in the treatment of RD in Japan. Although there was no significant differences in the anatomical outcomes, women in certain regions of Japan are less likely to receive early surgical intervention for RD.

Shorter Axial Length Is a Risk Factor for Proliferative Vitreoretinopathy Grade C in Eyes Unmodified by Surgical Invasion. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10173944.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the risk factors for the development of proliferative vitreoretinopathy grade C (PVR-C), independent of prior surgical invasion. METHODS Patients who underwent surgery for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment were prospectively registered with the Japan-Retinal Detachment Registry, organized by the Japanese Retina and Vitreous Society, between February 2016 and March 2017. Data obtained from general ophthalmic examinations performed before and at 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery were analyzed. RESULTS We included 2013 eyes of 2013 patients (men, 1326 (65.9%); mean age, 55.2 ± 15.2 years) from amongst 3446 registered patients. Preoperative PVR-C was observed in 3.6% of patients. Propensity score matching revealed that a shorter axial length (AL) was a risk factor for preoperative PVR-C (OR (Odds Ratio), 0.81; 95% CI (Confidence Interval), 0.69 to 0.96; p = 0.015), which was a risk factor for surgical failure (OR, 4.22; 95% CI, 1.12 to 15.93; p = 0.034); the association was particularly significant for eyes with an AL < 25.0 mm (p = 0.016), while it was insignificant for eyes with an AL ≥ 25.0 mm. CONCLUSIONS A shorter AL was related to the development of PVR-C before surgical invasion. Our results will help elucidate the fundamental pathogenesis of PVR and caution clinicians to meticulously examine eyes with a shorter AL to detect retinal detachment before PVR development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical significance of preoperative spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) features and their association with postoperative outcomes in eyes with primary macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). PATIENTS AND METHODS This is a retrospective case series of all consecutive cases undergoing repair of primary macula-off RRD at two tertiary care academic centers between January 2018 to January 2021. RESULTS Among 406 eyes, baseline visual acuity (β = 0.184, P = .001) and time to surgery (β = 0.009, P = .033) were predictive of postoperative visual acuity at 1-year follow-up after adjusting for age, sex and lens status, as well as presence of preoperative features on OCT such as outer retinal corrugations and height of the retinal detachment. CONCLUSION Baseline visual acuity and time to surgical repair are the best predictors of vision outcomes following macula-off RRD repair. [Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina. 2021;52:S23-S29.].

Abstract
Purpose To compare the surgical outcomes of vitreous surgery for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) after two different peripheral vitreous-shaving techniques are performed. Methods We reviewed 269 eyes with RRD that were treated with a 25-gauge vitrectomy by a single surgeon between June 2015 and May 2020. The exclusion criteria for the proposed air tamponade selection were as follows: more than two weeks since RRD onset, giant retinal tears, a history of complications following cataract surgery, high myopia, and proliferative vitreoretinopathy classified as grade C or higher. We examined the differences in the therapeutic effect between shaving under slit lamp microscope illumination (group A) and shaving under a wide-angle viewing system (group B). Results A total of 269 eyes were included in this study, with 146 eyes in group A and 123 eyes in group B. The primary anatomical success rates did not differ between group A (97.3%; 142/146 eyes) and group B (97.6%; 120/123 eyes; P = 0.102). However, the surgical time was significantly longer in group A (60.2 ± 17.1 min) than that in group B (46.9 ± 12.6 min) (P < 0.001). The multiple linear regression analysis revealed that surgical time was significantly correlated with using the wide-angle noncontact viewing system for vitreous shaving (adjusted R2 = 0.248; beta [standard partial regression coefficient] = −0.447, P < 0.001), the number of retinal breaks (beta = 0.182, P = 0.001), and the quadrant of retinal detachment (beta = 0.205, P < 0.001). Conclusion The surgical outcomes were similar regardless of the shaving procedure performed, and the surgical time was shortened by using the wide-angle noncontact viewing system for vitreous shaving.

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.

Micro-incision vitrectomy surgery for primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachments with posterior vitreous detachments in elderly patients: Preoperative characteristics and surgical outcomes. PLoS One 2021; 16:e0244614. [PMID: 33406140 PMCID: PMC7787454 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0244614] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2020] [Accepted: 12/11/2020] [Indexed: 01/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose To assess the preoperative characteristics and surgical outcomes of using micro-incision vitrectomy surgery (MIVS) to treat RRD with posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) in an older and a younger patient group. Methods This retrospective cohort study included 407 eyes from 397 patients with primary RRD with PVD who were consecutively treated in our hospital from February 2016 to February 2020. PVD was diagnosed clinically by the presence of a Weiss ring, or was diagnosed morphologically via optical coherence tomography and subsequently confirmed during surgery. The main outcome measures were preoperative RRD characteristics, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), and postoperative complications. Results Data were analysed from 55 eyes in the elderly group (age 70 and older), and 352 eyes in the young group (age 69 and younger). There was no significant inter-group difference in the initial reattachment rate. Preoperative characteristics indicated that elderly patients had a significantly lower rate of phakic eyes, shorter mean axial length, lower lattice incidence, and longer time spans from onset to surgery. There were no significant between-group differences in the incidence of the following complications: fibrin formation, intraocular pressure elevation, epi-retinal membrane on the macula, intraocular lens optic capture, proliferative vitreoretinopathy, and vitreous haemorrhage. While the elderly patients had significant postoperative improvements in BCVA, these improvements were significantly lower than those of the younger patients. Conclusions This study highlighted the characteristics and surgical outcomes of MIVS in elderly patients with RRD. Although the time from onset to surgery was longer, MIVS still can be performed safely to improve older patients’ postoperative BCVA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To compare visual outcomes of vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling and failed SF6 gas tamponade requiring silicone oil (SO) in a second procedure with primary SO tamponade in fovea-involving retinal detachment (FiRD). METHODS Retrospective analysis of 82 eyes with retinal detachment and mild, but without advanced proliferative retinopathy (PVR ≥C2) requiring vitrectomy for FiRD. Group 1 comprised 23 eyes that underwent SF6 tamponade resulting in re-detachment requiring revision surgery with secondary SO tamponade. Based on the intraoperative findings, group 2 patients had primarily received SO as vitreal tamponade (n=59). Patients receiving a scleral buckle surgery or with advanced PVR as well as patients with underlying vascular diseases and uveitis were excluded. RESULTS Preoperative visual acuity (Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study letters) was 13.5 ± 19.1 in group 1 and 14.0 ± 18.3 in group 2 (p=0.44). Twelve months after first surgery for FiRD, visual acuity was 49.8 ± 19.8 in group 1 and 51.7 ± 18.7 letters in group 2 (p=0.63). Re-detachment after SO removal requiring revision surgery developed in 17.4 (n=4) and 15.3% (n=9) cases. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that if retinal traction is completely relieved at the end of surgery, vitrectomy with ILM peeling and SF6 may, if successful, improve the functional outcomes in instances with visual potential, ie, a foveal detachment of short duration despite the presence of a mild to moderate PVR, but with the inherent increased risk of re-detachment requiring further intervention and the use of a SO tamponade. Hence, secondary SO installation during re-vitrectomy after failed primary reattachment surgery results in similar functional outcomes as primary oil filling.
