Endoscopy-Assisted Vitrectomy and Membrane Dissection of Anterior Proliferative Vitreoretinopathy for Chronic Hypotony After Previous Retinal Detachment Repair

Abstract: Endoscopy-assisted vitrectomy with removal of anterior proliferative vitreoretinopathy from the ciliary body is an effective treatment for chronic hypotony after previous retinal detachment repair in a minority of cases. The IOP improved in patients who tended to be younger and who had fewer previous intraocular surgeries. Further study is indicated to evaluate long-term outcomes and predictors of surgical success.

“…An ophthalmic endoscope has the potential to overcome the limitations of poor visualization. [ 9 11 ] It can enhance the visualization of the posterior segment, permitting direct assessment of retinal integrity and allowing the surgeon to perform vitrectomy safely and completely. It is also possible to handle postoperative complications such as dropped nuclei and foreign bodies more easily.…”

“…There are limitations to utilization of an endoscope, such as limited field of view, which requires some adjustment given the familiarity with wide-field viewing systems. Additionally, the view is monocular, so the surgeon must utilize other cues, such as focus, size, and light intensity, to compensate [47]. The free rotation ability of the endoscope probe creates difficulty with orientation, making movements within the eye challenging, especially in the learning period of surgeon.…”
