ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Air tamponade's effectiveness in treatment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) remains unclear.OBJECTIVE:
We aimed to review the surgical outcomes between air and gas tamponade after vitrectomy for RRD.METHOD:
PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, and Web of Science were reviewed. The study protocol was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO CRD42022342284). The primary outcome was the primary anatomical success after vitrectomy. The secondary outcome was the prevalence of postoperative ocular hypertension. Certainty of evidence was evaluated using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation system.RESULTS:
Ten studies involving 2,677 eyes were included. One study was randomized, and the others were non-randomized. The primary anatomical success after vitrectomy was not significantly different between the air and gas groups (odds ratio [OR], 1.00; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.68-1.48). The risk of ocular hypertension was significantly lower in the air group (OR 0.14; 95% CI 0.09-0.24). The certainty of evidence regarding air tamponade having a comparable anatomical outcome and lower frequency of postoperative ocular hypertension in treatment of RRD were low.DISCUSSION:
The current evidence base for tamponade selection in treatment of RRD has several major limitations. Further appropriately designed studies are needed to guide tamponade selection.Palavras-chave
