Purpose: To compare the efficacy and safety outcomes of scleral buckling (SB) and drainage-injection-pneumoretinopexy (DIP), a modified pneumatic retinopexy technique, in which, before gas injection, subretinal fluid is drained with a simultaneous injection of balanced salt solution (BSS) in the vitreous chamber, for the treatment of severe superior bullous rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (SBRD).
Methods: This prospective, randomized, comparative study included 58 eyes with severe SBRD that were randomized 1:1 to undergo SB or DIP. The main outcome measures included success rate, visual acuity, mean change in refractive error and surgery duration.
Purpose: To compare the anatomical and functional outcomes of vitrectomy involving complete internal limiting membrane peeling (CP) with those of vitrectomy involving fovea-sparing internal limiting membrane peeling (FSP) for the treatment of macular holes measuring >250 µm.
Methods: This prospective, randomized, comparative study included 46 eyes with a medium or large macular hole that was randomized to undergo complete (CP group) or fovea-sparing (FSP group) internal limiting membrane peeling during vitrectomy. The main outcome measures included the foveal retinal sensitivity, visual acuity, and central retinal thickness.
Purpose: To compare the functional and anatomical results of fovea-sparing internal limiting membrane peeling during vitrectomy with those of observation for degenerative lamellar macular hole with lamellar hole-associated epiretinal proliferation.
Design: A prospective, randomized, comparative pilot study.
Methods: Thirty-six eyes were randomized to undergo surgery with foveal internal limiting membrane sparing (Group S) or observation only (Group C).
