Pars plana vitrectomy with or without intraoperative 360° peripheral endolaser for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment treatment
International Ophthalmology Jul 14, 2018
Bilgin AB, et al. - Authors gauged if intraoperative 360° prophylactic endolaser photocoagulation was necessary for the treatment of uncomplicated retinal detachment. They divided the patients into two groups: in Group A endolaser applied to all existing breaks as well as a 360° laser retinopexy, while Group B received endolaser only to the retinal breaks. In uncomplicated primary RRDs, successful anatomic outcomes and functional improvement could be provided by pars plana vitrectomy without the 360° peripheral endolaser. At 1 and 3 months, the retina was reattached in 96% of patients in Group A and in 88% of patients in Group B after the primary procedure.
