Giant retinal tear retinal detachment etiologies, surgical outcome, and incidence of recurrent retinal detachment after silicone oil removal.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate etiologies, management, and outcomes of patients with giant retinal tears (GRTs) undergoing primary surgery at a tertiary referral center.

Methods: This was a retrospective, consecutive case series of 94 patients with at least 3 months follow-up after silicone oil removal (SOR). Fifty-seven eyes (60.

Comparison of clinical outcome between 23-G and 25-G vitrectomy in diabetic patients.

Purpose: To compare the clinical outcomes and complications between 23-G and 25-G vitrectomy in patients with diabetic vitreous hemorrhage (VH).

Materials And Methods: A retrospective comparative study comprising 69 eyes (36 eyes in 23-G group and 33 eyes in 25-G group) of 65 patients who underwent vitrectomy with air tamponade for diabetic vitreous hemorrhage (VH) with at least 6 months of follow-up was conducted.

Results: There were no significant differences between the two groups in age, gender, bilaterality, type of diabetes, presence of hypertension, lens status, and previous argon laser photocoagulation state ( > 0.

Correlation of spectral domain optical coherence tomography findings in sub-silicone oil foveal depression space and visual outcome in eyes undergoing silicone oil removal.

Background/purpose: To describe small hyper-reflective spherical bodies in sub-silicone oil-foveal depression (SSO-FD) space using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and its effect on visual outcomes in eyes undergoing silicone oil removal (SOR).

Methods: This was a prospective interventional comparative study comprising 42 eyes undergoing SOR with clear media. All patients underwent detailed clinical examination and SD-OCT scan of fovea pre-operatively and at 30 days and 90 days postoperatively.

Enucleation and evisceration at a tertiary care hospital in a developing country.

Background: To analyze the demographics, indications, and surgical outcomes of anophthalmic surgery (enucleation and evisceration) at Jordan University Hospital during a 5-year period.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective chart review of patients who had undergone evisceration or enucleation between August 2006 and June 2011. The data collected included age at time of surgery, sex, affected eye, surgical indication, implant size, and postoperative complications.
