ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To report the anatomic and functional outcomes of retinectomy without lensectomy in eyes with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) and proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR).DESIGN:
Retrospective, noncomparative, and interventional case series.SUBJECTS:
One hundred twelve eyes of 112 patients with RRD complicated by PVR who underwent retinectomy without lensectomy.METHODS:
Retrospective review of patients treated with vitrectomy and retinectomy without lensectomy from January 1, 2015, to January 1, 2020. MAIN OUTCOMEMEASURES:
The primary outcome was the final attachment rate and single surgery anatomic success (SSAS) at 3 and 6 months after retinectomy. Secondary outcomes included predictors of final visual acuity (VA), the mean number of subsequent operations required for complete retinal reattachment, cataract surgery, and the number of eyes that ultimately had successful silicone oil removal.RESULTS:
Complete final retinal reattachment was achieved in 111 of 112 (99.1%) patients, with a mean (standard deviation [SD]) follow-up of 29 (14) months (range, 8-62 months) after retinectomy. The SSAS was achieved in 84 of 112 (75%) patients at 3 months and 73 of 112 (65.2%) patients at 6 months. The final VA improved or stabilized in 76 of 112 (67.9%) eyes. Silicone oil removal was performed in 72 of 112 patients (64.3%) at a mean (SD) of 6.6 (3.3) months, and cataract surgery was performed on 101 (90.2%) eyes before the last follow-up visit.CONCLUSIONS:
Retinectomy without lensectomy to repair RRDs complicated by PVR showed acceptable anatomic and functional results. This study suggests that removing the lens when there is no significant cataract may not be necessary in these cases to obtain reasonable outcomes.Key words
