ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:
Drainage retinotomies are a technique used for treating rhegmatogenous retinal detachments (RRDs). These retinotomies are commonly surrounded by barricade laser. This paper aims to evaluate operative success of non-lasered drainage retinotomies during 25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for repair of primary RRD. PATIENTS ANDMETHODS:
Retrospective review of a consecutive interventional case series. Study includes 45 eyes of 45 patients who underwent 25-gauge PPV with a non-lasered drainage retinotomy for primary RRD. Eyes with previous retinal detachments or less than 3 months of follow-up were excluded.RESULTS:
All PPV with non-lasered drainage retinotomies were carried out by one surgeon (RFI); 25-gauge PPV instrumentation, a wide-angle viewing system, endolaser photocoagulation, and air or sulfur hexafluoride gas tamponade were utilized for each eye. Single surgery anatomical success was achieved in 42 out of 45 eyes (93%).CONCLUSION:
Retinal detachment repair utilizing non-lasered drainage retinotomies had a high anatomic success rate comparable to that of standard retinal detachment repair.1,2 [Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina. 2018;49955-960.].
