Abstract

Purpose: To determine the effectiveness of prophylactic argon laser retinopexy in preventing retinal redetachment after silicone oil removal. Material and Methods: The study was designed as a retrospective case-control study. Seventysix eyes of 76 patients who underwent pars plana vitrectomy with silicone oil tamponade (1000 cS) for complicated retinal detachment were included in the study. A study group of 36 (47.4%) of the 76 eyes received two rows of 360º of prophylactic argon laser retinopexy 2-8 weeks before removal of the silicone oil. The 40 (52.6%) eyes that underwent removal of silicone oil without argon laser retinopexy were used as a control group. The redetachment rate after silicone oil removal in the control group was detected retrospectively and compared with the study group. Results: Mean follow-up period for all cases was 11.72 months. In the study group 2 of 36 eyes (5.6%) redetached during the follow-up period following silicone oil removal and in the control group 10 of 40 eyes (25%) redetached at the same period. The difference of the redetachment rate between groups was statistically significant (p=0.002). Conclusion: Prophylactic argon laser retinopexy applied before the silicone oil removal appears to reduce the retinal redetachment rate. The study is needed to repeat in the randomised diagnostic groups.

Özet

Amaç: Silikon yağı alımı sonrası ortaya çıkan nüks retina dekolmanlarının izlenme sıklığını azaltmada proflaktik argon lazer retinopeksinin etkinliğinin saptanması. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışma retrospektif veri kontrollü bir çalışma olarak planlandı. Komplike retina dekolmanı nedeniyle pars plana vitrektomi ve silikon yağı (1000 cS) enjeksiyonu uygulanan 76 hastanın 76 gözü çalışmaya dahil edildi. 76 gözün 36'sına (%47.4) silikon yağı alımından 2-8 hafta önce, periferik 360 derece iki sıra argon lazer retinopeksi uygulandı ve bu gözler çalışma grubunu oluşturdu. Proflaktik lazer retinopeksi uygulanmayan 40 göz (%52.6) kontrol grubunu oluşturdu. Kontrol grubunda silikon yağı alımı sonrası nüks retina dekolmanı gelişme oranı retrospektif olarak tespit edilerek, çalışma grubuyla karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: Tüm olgular ortalama 11.72 ay takip edildi. Silikon yağı alımı sonrası takip döneminde, nüks retina dekolmanı çalışma grubunda 36 gözün 2'sinde (%5.6) izlenirken, kontrol grubunda 40 gözün 10'unda (%25) izlendi. Her iki grup arasında nüks retina dekolmanı izlenme oranı farkı istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulundu (p=0.02). Sonuç: Silikon yağı alımı öncesi uygulanan proflaktik argon lazer retinopeksinin nüks retina dekolmanı izlenme oranını azalttığı görülmektedir. Çalışmanın randomize edilmiş tanı gruplarında tekrarlanması faydalı olacaktır.
