Abstract
Purpose :
To evaluate clinical features and surgical outcomes of rhegmatogenous retinal detachments (RRD)
Methods :
A retrospective observational case series of patients who underwent rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) repair in the university Hospital of Poitiers from January 2003 to December 2015
Results :
1080 eyes were included. The mean age was 65,4 years and mean follow up was 7 months. The percentage of patient with myopia was 58% and the rate of RRD after history of cataract surgery was 48%. 14% of patients had retinal history. The mean time between the examination and the surgery was 3,4 days. The rate of RRD with macula on was 38%. The mean period between retinal detachment after cataract surgery was 453 days.The rate of recurrence was 30,1%.
The mean preoperative visual acuity was 0,2 and the mean postoperative visual acuity was 0,4. Reatachement rate was 94% and mean number of procedure was 1,93.
Conclusions :
Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment is a rare but serious ophthalmologic affection threatening vision. A clear knowledge of clinical features and surgical outcomes could improve the management of RRD
