Functional and Morphological Results of Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment Treated With Vitrectomy

Functional and Morphological Results of macula-on and Macula-off Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment Treated With Pars Plana Vitrectomy and Sulfur Hexafluoride Gas Tamponade

To examine morphological and functional results after pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with SF6 gas tamponade due to macula-on and macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) during six months of the follow-up.

Background:

To examine morphological and functional results after pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with SF6 gas tamponade due to macula-on and macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) during six months of the follow-up.

Methods:

The study included 62 eyes that underwent successful PPV with SF6 tamponade with macula-on (34 eyes) and macula-off (28 eyes) RRD preoperatively. The best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), Amsler test, M-charts, optical coherence tomography (OCT) and microperimetry were performed at 1, 3 and 6 months postoperatively.

Inclusion Criteria:

• The diagnosed macula-on and macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.

Exclusion Criteria:

• history of uveitis,
• diabetic retinopathy,
• previous vitreoretinal surgery,
• glaucoma or eye trauma,
• retinal detachment combined with macular hole or proliferative vitreoretinopathy
