Success rate of pneumatic retinopexy in Mettapracharak hospital
Abstract
Objective: To assess the effectiveness of pneumatic retinopexy as a therapeutic approach for the management of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment(RRD) at Metta Pracharak Hospital. Additionally, the study seeks to identify the various factors that may impact the overall success rate of pneumatic retinopexy(PnR) surgery.
Design: Retrospective medical chart review.
Participants: Patient with primary RRD treated between September 2019 and august 2022 at Metta Pracharak hospital Thailand.
Methods: Medical records of all cases with primary RRD who underwent PnR with a follow-up period up to 3 months were included for analysis.
Results: data pertaining to 125 patients in our analysis. 76.0% (95/125), 69.6% (87/125), 65.6% (82/125) and 63.2% (79/125) of patients who followed up at 1 week 1,2, and 3 months, respectively, had primary anatomic reattachment. A total of 36.8% (46/125) of patients did not reattach with the initial PnR or re-detached in the early post-procedure period (3 months). Phakic lens status and preoperative BCVA better than 20/400 were significant predictor of PnR success at 3 months in a multivariate logistic regression analysis (P = 0.004) (P = 0.011).
Conclusion: The evidence from this study demonstrates a satisfactory treatment outcome for primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment using pneumatic retinopexy at Metta Pracharak Hospital. and most patients experience improved vision compared to before the surgery.
