Abstract
PURPOSE: To evaluate the surgical outcomes of the 27-gauge (G) vitrectomy system for the treatment of primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). METHODS: This retrospective consecutive series multicenter study involved a total of 410 eyes of 406 patients who underwent 3-port transconjunctival 27G pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for RRD between November 2014 and December 2016 and who were followed for a minimum of 3 months postoperative. The main outcome measure was primary reattachment, with the secondary outcome measures being final reattachment, improvement of visual acuity (VA), intraocular pressure (IOP), intraoperative and postoperative complications, and surgery time. RESULTS: Of the 410 treated eyes, primary reattachment was achieved in 392 (95.6%) and final reattachment was achieved in 410 (100%). In 226 eyes (55.1%) with macula-on RRD, the mean logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) VA improved from 0.16 ± 0.51 pre-surgery to 0.02 ± 0.14 post-surgery (P = 0.11). In 184 eyes (44.9%) with macula-off RRD, logMAR VA improved from 1.06 ± 0.77 pre-surgery to 0.26 ± 0.35 post-surgery (P < 0.001). Following surgery, the mean IOP was highest at 1 day (15.7 ± 7.0 mmHg) postoperative. In all eyes, surgery was concluded without the use of sutures or the need of conversion to a larger-gauge instrument. Although hypotony was observed in 14 (3.4%) of the 410 treated eyes at 1 day postoperative, it spontaneously resolved within 1 week without additional surgical intervention. No postoperative complications such as infectious endophthalmitis were observed throughout the follow-up period. CONCLUSION: Our findings show that 27G PPV is both safe and effective for the treatment of primary RRD.
