Abstract

Objective: To study the anatomical status and functional outcome of Pars Plana Vitrectomy surgery in rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) at a tertiary eye care center in India. Material, Patients and Method: This is a prospective, noncomparative, consecutive, interventional study of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment managed with Pars Plana Vitrectomy surgery performed in the Regional Institute of Ophthalmology, Prayagraj, India. 40 patients of 40 eyes (26 phakic 65%, 14 pseudophakic 35%) with retinal detachment were treated by primary pars plana vitrectomy with 6 months of follow-up. Result: A total of 40 patients (40 eyes) were operated, 18 males and 2 females, with age, ranges from 17 years to 90 years. After surgery, anatomically retinal reattachment was achieved in 40 (100%). Improved best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was seen in 38 (90%) patients, whereas in 2 (5%) patient BCVA was not improving and deteriorated from pre-operative in another 2 (5%) patient. There was no significant difference was found in the pseudophakic and phakic eye in functional outcome. Conclusion: Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment is one of the common causes of visual impairment and blindness. Timely surgical management with Pars Plana Vitrectomy surgery can give good anatomical and visual outcome.
