Abstract

Objective: To investigate the outcome of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment repair at Vitreoretinal unit of Jinnah Post Graduate Medical Centre Karachi in year 2014.

Methods: One hundred and three eyes of one hundred and three patients, who underwent three ports parsplana vitrectomy + band + silicone oil, three ports pars plana vitrectomy + silicone oil, three ports pars plana vitrectomy + C3F8 for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) repair, at Jinnah Post Graduate Medical Centre, were included in this observational prospective study. Parsplana vitrectomy was done using 23G vitrectomy system. Duration of study was one year. Removal of silicone oil (ROSO) was done on the basis of completely flat retina at least for eight weeks or because of complications due to silicone oil. Patients were followed up post operatively on day one and after one week and then at four weekly interval till the end of the study.

Results: Anatomical success was achieved in 91 eyes (88.3%). However in 12 eyes (11.7%) retina redetached after removal of silicone oil. Functional success achievement of visual acuity of 3/60 or better was achieved in 85 (82.5%) of eyes post operatively after removal of silicone oil or absorption of gas C3F8 as the case may be.

Conclusion: Re-detachment is common after removal of silicone oil and incidence of re-detachment is related to the degree of preoperative PVR and location of breaks. Re-detachment occurs more commonly if the breaks are inferiorly located as compared to the superior ones.

Keywords: Removal of silicon oil; Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment; Surgical audit.
