Corneal topographic changes after 20-gauge pars plana vitrectomy associated with scleral buckling for the treatment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment

Abstract: RESUMOObjetivo:Avaliar as alterações topográficas da córnea após a realização de vitrectomia via pars plana 20-gauge associada à introflexão escleral para o tratamento do descolamento de retina regmatogênico.Métodos: Vinte e cinco pacientes com descolamento de retina regmatogênico foram incluídos neste estudo. Vitrectomia via pars plana 20-gauge associada à introflexão escleral foi realizada em todos os pacientes. O exame de topografia de córnea computadorizada de cada paciente foi realizado antes da cirurgia … Show more

“…Other factors related to wound healing include wound edema, pos toperative corticoid use, and thermal cautery (7,8) . Grandinetti et al found significant corneal changes following 20-G PPV associated with encircling scleral buckle surgery that returned to preoperative levels at 3 months following surgery, possibly owing to changes in scleral elasticity or loosening of sutures (9) . Since the development of novel sutureless vitrectomy systems, several studies have been conducted to compare the degree of astigmatism induced by conventional 20-G PPV and sutureless 23-and 25-G techniques.…”
