Pneumatic retinopexy versus scleral buckle for repairing simple rhegmatogenous retinal detachments

Abstract

Background-Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) is a full-thickness break in the sensory retina, caused by vitreous traction on the retina. While pneumatic retinopexy, scleral buckle, and vitrectomy are the accepted surgical interventions for eyes with RRD, their relative effectiveness has remained controversial.Objectives-The objectives of this review were to assess the effectiveness and safety of pneumatic retinopexy versus scleral buckle or pneumatic retinopexy versus a combination treatment of scleral buckle and vitrectomy for people with RRD. The secondary objectives were to summarize any data on economic measures and quality of life.

Outcome of Different Surgical Repair Techniques for Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment—A Health Economic Analysis in the Split-Dalmatia County, Croatia

“…Our results are consistent with the findings of other studies, which report 81–92% anatomical success achieved with a single surgical procedure in less complicated cases, while in high-risk eyes, success of surgery was 65–70% [ 19 , 27 , 28 ].…”

Efficacy of Pneumatic Retinopexy in Treating Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment at King Abdullah Medical City in Makkah, Saudi Arabia – A retrospective cohort study

“…In our study anatomical attachment six months after PR was achieved in 73.3%. Hetaf et al (Hatef E et al, 2015) while comparing outcomes of PR with scleral buckling also noted a similar success rate. They also noted that outcomes of PR were poorer than with scleral buckling.…”

“…For example, the small sample of RRD managed by PR limited us in evaluating associations of known risk factors such previous cataract surgery, type of gas used for PR and age. Other studies have addressed few risk factors such as the type of gas used (Hatef E et al, 2015) (Velez-Montoya R et al, 2016. By collating data of different studies more reliable information on risk factors could be helpful.The selection of cases with RRD is crucial for success with PR.…”

Pneumatic Retinopexy Versus Pars Plana Vitrectomy for Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

“…2 Macular involvement is the common cause of visual loss in retinal detachment and is an important prognostic factor to determine the fi nal visual outcome. 3 In the current practice, three surgical interventions are used to repair RRD, including pneumatic retinopexy (PnR), pars plana vitrectomy (PPV), and scleral buckling. 1 Pneumatic retinopexy is an outpatient-based, minimally invasive surgical technique to repair RRD.…”
