Abstract

PURPOSE: To evaluate our pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) results for cases with nucleus drop. MATERIALS-METHODS: Fourteen eyes of 14 patients that were complicated with nuclear drop during phacoemulsification underwent PPV surgery. Following core vitrectomy, and intentional detachment of posterior hyaloid, nuclear particles were taken out by ultrasonic phacofragmenter or vitrectomy probe in 12 eyes, by limbal way floating upon liquid perfluorocarbons in 2 eyes. PPV was conducted following phacoemulsification at the same session in a case, and as a secondary operation in the other cases after 1 week to 5 months following cataract surgery. Functional and anatomic results were evaluated retrospectively. RESULTS: Follow-up time was 8 months (range 3- 24 months). At final examination, visual acuity was found improved in 12 eyes, while did not change in 2 eyes. Baseline visual acuity did not change at postoperative one week and one month (P>0.05), but improved at 3 months and final examination (P=0.025 and P=0.003, Wilcoxon test). No complication was encountered during PPV in any eyes. Retinal detachment developed in an eye postoperatively, and this eye was re-operated by PPV. Six eyes (43%) received topical glaucoma treatment for transient increase in intraocular pressure. CONCLUSION: Vitrectomy is better to be performed in optimal timing and condition as there is an increased risk of retinal tear and detachment in patients with nucleus drop. Careful peripheral retinal examination is essential during and after PPV.

Özet

AMAÇ: Nükleus drop olgularında uyguladığımız pars plana vitrektomi (PPV) sonuçlarını incelemek. GEREÇ-YÖNTEM: Fakoemülsifikasyon cerrahisi sırasında nükleus drop gelişen 14 olgunun 14 gözüne PPV uygulandı. Kor vitrektomi yapıldıktan ve arka hyaloid dekolmanı olmayan olgularda arka hyaloid soyulduktan sonra 12 olguda endofako ya da okütomla, 2 olguda ise sıvı perflorokarbon yardımıyla yüzdürülen nükleus limbal yolla gözden çıkarıldı. PPV, 1 olguda katarakt cerrahisi esnasında, diğer olgularda 1hafta ile 5 ay arasında değişen zamanlarda ikinci bir seansta uygulandı. Hastaların fonksiyonel ve anatomik başarıları değerlendirildi. BULGULAR: Takip süresi ortalama 8 aydı (en az 3, en fazla 24 ay). Ameliyat sonrası dönemde 12 hastada görme keskinliği artarken, iki hastada görmeler değişmedi. Başlangıç ortalama görme keskinliği ilk hafta ve ilk ayda değişmezken (P>0.05), 3. ayda ve son kontrolde belirgin olarak artış gösterdi (P=0.025 ve P=0.003, Wilcoxon testi). PPV esnasında hiçbir hastada komplikasyon görülmedi. PPV sonrası dönemde bir gözde retina dekolmanı gelişti ve bu göze ikinci bir PPV uygulandı. Takip süresi boyunca göz içi basıncında yükselme nedeniyle 6 hastaya (%43) topikal glokom tedavisi uygulandı. SONUÇ: Nükleus drop olgularında retina yırtık ve dekolman riski arttığından, vitrektominin uygun şartlarda ve zamanda gerçekleştirilmesi, PPV sırasında ve sonrasında dikkatli bir periferik retina kontrolü yapılması önemli görünmektedir.
