Objective To explore the therapeutic value and effects of relaxing retinotomy for perforating traction retinal detachment(PTRD). Method A retrospective survey was done in 21 patinets (21 eyes) with PTRD who underwent vitrectomy combined with relaxing retinotomy in our hospital from 1998 to 2001.Results The retinae were completely reattached in all 21 cases. The visual acuity of 12 patients (57%) was counting finger, and the best visual acuity was 0.05. Among the 18 patients who were followed up for 6 to 25 months, 14(77.8%) remained retinal reattachment. Conclusions Relaxing retinotomy is effective for anatomic reattachment of PTRD, especially to the patients with retinal incarceration and severe proliferative vitreoretinopathy.

Objective To investigate the effect of retinectomy 360° for severe ocular rupture and evaluate the related factors associated w ith prognosis. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 28 consecutive patients (28 eyes), 18 men and 10 women, with severe ocular rupture admitted to the Chinese PLA General Hospital between January 1999 and October 2002. The patient′s ages ragned from 16 to 58 years, mean 29 years. According to the internation standardized classification of ocular trauma, the injuries located in zone I in 5 eyes, zone I-II in 8 eyes,zone II in 3 eyes, zone II-IIIⅢ in 5 eyes, zone III in 7 eyes, zone II in 3 eyes, zone II-III in 5 eyes and zone III in 7 eyes. The presenting visual acuity was in grade 4 (0.02 to light perception) in 19 eyes, and grade 5 in 9 eyes. In 28 patients, 13 had the total absence of iris and lens, 10 had iris deletion more than 1/2, and 15 had lens opacity or rupture. Ultrasound biomicroscopy and B-scan revealed ciliochoroidal detachment in 17 eyes. The B-scan revealed vitreous hemorrhage and retinal detachment in all paitents. The intraocular pressure was from 5 to 11 mm Hg in all patients. The therappeutic operative procedures which were performed by one surgeon in all of the affected eyes included standard 3-port pars plana vitrectomy with scleral encircling buckle, endophotocoagulation and tamponading with silicone oil in all patients; lensectomy in 15 eyes; 360° retinotomy and retinectomy at anterior equator in 16 patients, and posterior equator in 12 eyes.Results During the operation, all patients were confirmed with vitreous hemorrhage and retinal detachment, including hemorrhagic ciliary body detachment in 9 eyes, suprachoroidal hemorrha ge in 12 eyes, retinal twisting like morning glory in 11 eyes, and retinal incarceration in 17 eyes. Postoperative follow-up In 26 eyes who were followed up postoperatively from 6 months to 46 months, retinal reattachment was found in 20 patients (76.9%) in whom the retina of 3 was reattached after revitrectomy and the silicone oil of 8 was removed at the fourth month after operation. In 20 eyes with reattached retina, 14 (70.0%) had corrected visual acuity of 0.02 or more, including 7 (35.0%) had 0.05 or more, 3 had 0.1 or mor e, and 1 had the best visual acuity of 0.3.Conclusion Retine ctomy may improve the prognosis of severe ocular rupture and save the visual fun ction of some patients.(Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,2003,19:333-404)
Objective By using a newly developed animal model of limited macular translocation (LMT) in rabbit eyes, to explore the complications,indications and predictability of LMT. Methods LMT models were performed in 15 rabbit eyes, and were divided into 4.5 mm group and 3.5 mm group by the length of scleral shortening.The effect of retinal translocation (distance and direction) and its complications were analyzed. In a separated group, postoperative corneal astigmatism was studied after release of scleral shortening suture 1 month after LMT. In order to study the impact of neuroretina-retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) adhesion on LMT, retinas and choroids in 4 pigmented rabbit eyes were pretreated with photocoagulation. Results Success rate of LMT was 86.7%. In these cases, retinal translocations were achieved[(distance of 610 to 2690 μm, [AKx-]±s=(1395±636)μm; translocation angle α of 10-38°, [AKx-]±s=(22.7±8.3) °]. The difference in scleral shortening between 4.5 mm and 3.5 mm groups did not significantly influence the final translocation. Major complications of LMT included intraocular bleeding, retinal break, and corneal astigmatism. Release of scleral shortening suture reduced corneal astigmatism and made it more regular, meanwhile, retinal translocation did not regress. The neuroretina-RPE adhesion induced by retinal photocoagulation made neuroretinal hydrodissection difficult, and led to retinal break readily. Conclusion Sufficient LMT models in rabbit eye were obtained with few postoperative complications. Direction of retinal translocation is an important factor influencing the effect of LMT, except for distance. Release of scleral shortening suture can effectively reduce corneal astigmatism without causing regression of retinal translocation. For the patients with a history of macular or para-macular photocoagulation, LMT should be performed carefully. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis, 2002, 18: 203-207)
Objective To investigate the visual function of idiopathic macular hole before and after macular surgery. Methods Vitreous-retinal surgery was performed in 19 patients(19 eyes) with idiopthic macular hole.Among them,3 eyes belonged to stage 2,10 eyes stage 3 and 6 eyes were stage 4. The visual function including international standard visual acuity,laser retinal visual acuity,photopic ERG intensity responses- and Humphrey 30deg;-2 visual field were tested and compared before and after the surgery. Results (1)International standard visual acuity was from 0.01 to 0.1 preoperatively,and from 0.04 to 0.4 post operatively,the difference was not significant(P>0.0 5).(2)Laser retinal visual acuity was from 0.12 to 0.4 preoperatively,and from 0.2 to 0.63 postoperatively,the difference was significant (P<0.05).(3)In photopic ERG intensity responses:the Log K value of bwave decreased after surgery (P<0.05),but no obvious change found in Rmax and n Value after operation.(4)Humphrey visual field examination revealed the thresholds for 0-10deg; increased after surgery(P<0.05),but not obvious for 15-30deg;. Conclusion The visual function of the macular cones are increased by macular surgery for IMH. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,2000,16:213-284)
Objective To observe the efficacy of vitreoretinal surgery in the treatment of early traumatized eyes with no light perception. Methods We performed vitreoretinal surgery on 17 eyes of early traumatized eyes with no light perception.The patients were followed up for 2~14 months. Results Retinal reattachment was achieved in 11 eyes after srugery.8 eyes got visual acuity better than light perception postoperatively.Visual acuities of 5 eyes were better than 0.05 and the best one reached to 0.2. Conclusion Timely vitreoretinal surgery is valuable to the early traumatized eyes with no light perception.Retinal reattachment is the most important thing for the treatment of this kind of cases.
