Management of Pediatric Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment.

Wills Eye Hospital Mid Atlantic Retina, Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, PA, USA.

Introduction And Primary Objective: Pediatric rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) presents unique challenges in diagnosis and management. A thorough evaluation of family, medical, and ocular history is helpful, as systemic and genetic conditions can predispose children to RRD. Trauma, high myopia, and history of prematurity are also common risk factors.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to propose a simplified segmental scleral buckling (SSSB) technique that does not require break localization for less-experienced vitreoretinal surgeons.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study compared the clinical results of 46 conventional and 23 SSSB (conventional segmental SB [CSSB] and SSSB, respectively) procedures in a tertiary referral retinal center in Taiwan between 2008 and 2019. In the CSSB group, breaks were localized during surgery.

Purpose: The factors that contribute to the progression of macular involvement in RRD have not been extensively investigated. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the association between the preoperative characteristics and macular status of the eyes with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD).

Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, reducing aerosol-generating procedures became fundamental, particularly in ophthalmic surgeries traditionally performed under general anesthesia (GA). Regional anesthesia, such as sub-Tenon's block (STB), is widely used in vitreoretinal surgeries, offering a safer alternative by avoiding airway manipulation. However, the altered orbital anatomy in patients with previous scleral explant surgery creates unique challenges to STB application.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the correlations between optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA), best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), and macular integrity assessment (MAIA) microperimetry (MP) in both a control group and patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). Additionally, it assessed differences between the groups and examined whether the time from symptom onset to surgery influenced microvascular or functional changes in the RRD group.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 47 patients who had undergone successful RRD surgery with pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and sulfur-hexafluoride (SF6) gas injection, with or without scleral buckling (SB), and a control group of 136 healthy eyes.
