Outcome of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment repair: Experience of a tertiary center in Oman

Abstract

Aim:To study the outcome of repair of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) in a tertiary center.Materials and Methods:Review of electronic medical records within a period of 29 months of consecutive patients who underwent surgical repair for RRD in Sultan Qaboos University Hospital (SQUH).Results:We included 33 consecutive patients (36 eyes). Males constituted 70% of them. The average age was 47 years. Seven eyes out of the 36 had macula-on RRD at presentation. The primary success rate with a single procedure was 86%. However, redetachment occurred in five eyes (14%). Visual acuity was either same as preoperative or better in 81% of the eyes. Giant retinal tear was found in three eyes (8%). The average follow-up period for all patients was 10.25 months (range: 3-25 months).Conclusion:Rhegmatogenous RD is not uncommon disorder. It occurs more frequently in males. However, it has a good prognosis if an intervention was performed in early stages.

Macular Oct Findings After Successful Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment Repair; A Comparison Between Cases With and Without Visual Improvement

“…The mean pre-operative log MAR VA was 1.7 (Snellen equiv-alent of 1/60). Demographic and fundus details of the patients are summarized in table (1). had RPE degenerative changes, and 2 (5 %) had macular holes.…”

“…Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) occurs due to separation of neurosensory retina from inner layer of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) in presence of a retinal break [1]. The current treatment of RRD with multiple surgical techniques has anatomical success rate of more than 90%.…”

Comparación del éxito anatómico y funcional del tratamiento del desprendimiento de retina regmatógeno con afección macular entre dos técnicas de retinopexia

“…Comparación de las variables basales entre grupos funcional, de acuerdo con la definición operativa, tampoco difirió entre ambos grupos. La proporción de éxito anatómico fue semejante a la reportada internacionalmente (83.1-86%) [10][11][12] en forma global y para cada técnica (exoplante 86% y vitrectomía 90%) 13 . Aunque ya se ha reportado que el promedio de agudeza visual mejora en los pacientes con afección macular 14 , no se había determinado en nuestro medio la proporción de pacientes que alcanza esa mejoría.…”

Upregulation of Neuroinflammatory Protein Biomarkers in Acute Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachments

“…Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) is a vision-threatening condition in which mechanical forces at the vitreoretinal interface lead to a break in the retina, allowing for the passage of fluid into the subretinal space, separating the retina from the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and choroid [ 1 ]. This condition affects 1 in 10,000 people per year and occurs more frequently in males [ 2 , 3 ]. RRD is the most common type of retinal detachment, and patients can present with symptoms including flashes of light, visual floaters, and loss of vision [ 2 ].…”

“…RRD is the most common type of retinal detachment, and patients can present with symptoms including flashes of light, visual floaters, and loss of vision [ 2 ]. Risk factors for RRD include lattice degeneration, myopia, prior cataract surgery, prior retinal detachment, and trauma [ 3 , 4 , 5 ]. In adults, RRDs are typically an isolated eye condition and are not associated with any systemic diseases, in contrast to other types of retinal detachments such as tractional and serous retinal detachments, which can occur from advanced diabetic retinopathy and inflammatory eye conditions, respectively.…”
