Journal Title: Dicle Tıp Dergisi - Year 2016, Vol 43, Issue 2
Abstract
Objective: To present the factors that influence the success rate of pneumatic retinopexy on rhegmatogenous retinal detachment treatment. Methods: Ninety eyes of 29 female and 61 male patient were included to the study. The patient’s age, sex, duration of symptoms, the best corrected visual acuities (BCVA) on the time of application, lens status, preoperative retinal tear number and location, retinal detachment size, macular involvement, tamponade type, coexisting complications, and anatomic success rates were recorded at preoperative, postoperative 3rd months and final examination. Results: Only one treatment session success number was 55 over 90 (61.1%) patients. Median preoperative, postoperative 3rd month and final examination LogMAR BCVA values were 1.3, 0.5 and 0.5 respectively.(p=0.0001) Preoperative and postoperative other parameters was not revealed significant differences with one treatment session. However there was a significant positive correlation between the detachment size and anatomical success. (p=0.03, r=0.324) Conclusion: Pneumatic retinopexy is an alternative treatment option for the anatomical and functional success in retinal detachment at suitable patients. In our study the success rate was higher in patients with less than 3 clock dial retinal detachment patients. Key words: pneumatic retinopexy, rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, anatomical and functional success
