“…The anatomical success rate for primary repair changed from 76.6 to 84.7% after 1 operation and from 89.1 to 94.3% following additional surgery [12]. Paudyal et al [13] reviewed the records of 255 patients undergoing VRS in 2005. Major indications for surgery were RD (75%) and VH (19%).…”

A 13-year retrospective chart review of 5,097 consecutive cases that underwent pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) in a tertiary referral center in Turkey was performed. Age at onset, sex, laterality, associated systemic disease, pre- and postoperative visual acuities (VA), indications, type of surgery and outcomes of surgery were analyzed. The most common indications for vitreoretinal surgery (VRS) were rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (n = 1,802, 35.4%) and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (n = 1,505, 29.5%). The most common vitreoretinal technique combinations performed were PPV with encircling endolaser (EL) and phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation (33.0%), PPV with encircling EL (30.4%), and only PPV (7.0%). A statistically significant increase in the mean VA was noted at the first- (1.16 ± 0.44 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution, logMAR) and sixth-month (1.06 ± 0.61 logMAR) visits when compared to the preoperative VA (1.77 ± 0.58 logMAR; p < 0.001). Comparisons in the top surgical indications, techniques and outcomes for vitrectomy between the countries could be important for the development of subspecialization in VRS.

“…Anatomical success was achieved in 74.5% of patients. Postoperatively, 39% of the patients experienced improved VA, with 33% obtaining >6/60 vision [13]. Shenoy et al [14] reported on vitreoretinal surgeries performed on 784 adult and 101 pediatric eyes from 2002 to 2006 in Oman.…”

Chirurgische Behandlung vitreoretinaler Erkrankungen in Oman

et al. 2010

The most frequent causes of preventable retinal blindness in Oman are pediatric trauma and advanced diabetic vitreoretinopathy. Eyes operated for trauma had a better outcome than PDVR in patients with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus. The large number of eyes with PDVR in the final stages and sequelae of trauma legitimates preventive medical measures and an expansion of vitreoretinal services with supportive external training of specialists and allied health professions.
