“…Previous studies have reported new retinal breaks and PVR following PR as single surgery in 11.7% and 5% of cases, respectively (Chan CK, 2008). In a study with 12 years follow up, 30% of RRD cases developed new breaks after management with PR (Modi YS et al, 2014). The PVR rate in our study was much lower than 40% reported by Dhami et al (Dhami A et al, 2018).…”

Introduction: The aim of this study was to present the clinical presentation and short-term outcomes of uncomplicated rhegmatogenous retinal detachment managed by pneumatic retinopexy at a tertiary eye hospital in western Saudi Arabia. Materials and methods: This one-armed retrospective cohort study evaluated selected cases of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment managed by pneumatic retinopexy between 2017 and 2018. Data were collected on patient demographics, preoperative ophthalmic assessment, surgical details, follow up at six months postoperatively, complications and the need for additional surgery. Anatomic success was defined as retinal attachment at 6 months and functional success was defined as vision >20/200 at six months postoperatively. The association of lens status and concomitant laser treatment to anatomical success rates were evaluated. Results: The study sample consisted of 15 eyes with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in the upper quadrant. In 14 cases, C3F8 gas was used. Anatomic and functional success was noted in 73.3% [95% confidence interval (CI) 51.0: 95.7] and 86.7% (95% CI 69.2; 100) of eyes, respectively. The association between anatomical success and lens status was not significant [RR = 4.5 (95% CI 0.6 ; 37.5), P=0.1]. There was no significant association between anatomical success and concomitant laser treatment. [RR = RR = 1.7 (95% CI 0.7 ; 4.0), P=0.2]. A 2nd retinal surgery was not required in 33.3% of eyes (95% CI 9.5 ; 57.2). Conclusion: If stringent selection criteria are used for managing rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with pneumatic retinopexy, anatomical and functional success by six months postoperatively is achieved in the majority of cases. Additional surgeries could further improve outcomes.

“…30 Previous reports have analyzed predictive factors for successful visual and anatomical outcomes in large multicenter 2 and tertiary hospitals in which study cohorts are composed of patients who underwent PR by one of multiple possible surgeons. 12,27,28,[30][31][32][33] However, there has been no previous long-term study on PR involving a single surgeon. By incorporating multiple surgeons, more data can be collected and analyzed, but this may also introduce variability in surgical technique.…”

Purpose: To determine factors predictive of anatomic, visual and financial outcomes after traditional and nontraditional primary pneumatic retinopexy (PR) for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RD). Design: Retrospective interventional case series and cost comparison Methods: Participants: 178 eyes (156 patients) with PR-repaired primary RD by a single surgeon at a clinical practice from 1/2001-12/2013 and followed for ≥1 year. The cohort had 2 subgroups: traditional (TPR) and nontraditional (NTPR) PR. Main Outcome Measures: Characteristics associated with best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and anatomical outcomes. Cost analysis and potential cost savings comparing PR to scleral buckle and vitrectomy. Results: 131 of 178 eyes (73.5%) were successfully treated at 1 year (POY1): 72.8% (75/103) in TPR and 74.6% (56/75) in NTPR. Macula-off detachment (−0.44logMAR, p<0.001) and clock hours of RD (−0.84logMAR, p<0.001) correlated with improved BCVA; pseudophakia (0.26logMAR, p=0.002) and inferior retinal tears (0.62logMAR, p=0.

“…Later, authors have found it to vary between 60% and 82%. [ 7 8 9 10 11 12 ] Table 5 lists the major studies and their results of PR. Our SOSR of 60% is toward the lower side due to the inherent biases in a retrospective study and uncontrolled parameters.…”

Outcomes and Complications of Pneumatic Retinopexy Over a 12-Year Period

Abstract: Pneumatic retinopexy remains a reasonably successful option in the management of primary retinal detachment. No difference in best corrected visual acuity outcomes in eyes achieving SOS versus those requiring additional surgery was demonstrated.
