Retinal detachment surgery following implantation of a keratoprosthesis. A case report.

Retinal detachment is an eye with a keratoprosthesis usually has an extreme poor prognosis. We describe the successful repair of a total retinal detachment following implantation of a new type Worst-keratoprosthesis in the only eye of a 70-year-old patient. A vitrectomy, epiretinal peeling, 180 degrees superior retinotomy, subretinal membrane peeling and an injection of perfluorooctane were performed to flatten the retina. After the endophotocoagulation a perfluorooctane-silicone oil exchange was performed. An additional intervention was necessary to treat a redetachment. After 3 months follow-up the retina has remained attached and the patient regained ambulatory vision.

Treatment of posterior eye segment complications after perforating trauma.

168 perforating trauma cases that underwent vitreoretinal surgery in our hospital over a two year period were reviewed. A uniform surgical concept was applied in those severely injured eyes. Showing posterior eye segment complications that required vitreoretinal surgery and having at least light perception were the only two criteria to be eligible for this study. The anatomic and functional results in different trauma groups are discussed as well as indications and duration of silicone oil tamponade.

The use of perfluorocarbon liquids in vitreous surgery.

Perfluoro-octane is used as an intraoperative tool for manipulation of the retina during vitreous surgery for retinal detachment in cases of proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR), giant tears and large peripheral retinotomies. One case of a macular hole combined with a peripheral one was also treated in this way. Perfluoro-octane seems, in our experience, a useful instrument for intraoperative atraumatic flattening of the retinal in those complicated cases with largely detached retinas.
