Analysis of Retinal Displacement by Overlay of Infrared Imaging After Pars Plana Vitrectomy for Retinal Detachment Repair: A Multicenter Study.
Retinal displacement is observed in nearly all eyes after vitrectomy for retinal detachment repair.
Analysis of Retinal Displacement by Overlay of Infrared Imaging After Pars Plana Vitrectomy for Retinal Detachment Repair: A Multicenter Study.
To evaluate the prevalence, direction, and characteristics of postoperative retinal displacement after pars plana vitrectomy (pars plana vitrectomy) for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (rhegmatogenous retinal detachment) repair using infrared image overlay technique in a multicenter cohort.
Multicenter retrospective cohort study.
All eyes with fovea-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment demonstrated retinal displacement, whereas 82% of fovea-on cases were displaced.
Inferior displacement was the predominant direction (80%), most commonly oriented inferotemporally.
Silicone oil tamponade was associated with reduced displacement severity and a higher rate of superior displacement compared with gas tamponade (P < 0.01).
Intraoperative perfluorocarbon liquid (perfluorocarbon liquid) use was significantly associated with horizontal macular stretch (P = 0.04).
Retinal displacement occurs in nearly all eyes following pars plana vitrectomy for macula-involving rhegmatogenous retinal detachment repair when assessed using overlay-based infrared imaging, at rates substantially higher than previously reported using fundus autofluorescence.
perfluorocarbon liquid was associated with temporal macular stretch. Surgical factors, particularly tamponade choices, influence the severity and pattern of displacement.
