PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to investigate new prognostic factors in associated with primary anatomical failure after scleral buckling (SB) for uncomplicated rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). METHODS The medical records of patients with uncomplicated RRD treated with SB were retrospectively reviewed. Eyes with known prognostic factors for RRD, such as fovea-on, proliferative v...

Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) requires surgical intervention for its repair. There are variable techniques used for this purpose, and they are all being continuously refined. In this review, we detail the recent innovations in surgical management of RRD and proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR).

The article presents a literature review regarding the use of silicone oil tamponade (ST) in rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) treatment. Vitrectomy, which produces stable anatomical result most patients, is currently recognized as one main methods treating RRD. In complicated detachments, vitrectomy followed by ST vitreous cavity (VC). Despite many benefits ST, it carries risk number com...

An operating system’s readahead and buffer-cache behaviors can significantly impact application performance; most often these better performance, but occasionally they worsen it. To avoid unintended I/O latencies, many database systems sidestep these OS features by minimizing or eliminating application file I/O. However, network traffic measurement applications are commonly built instead atop a...

PURPOSE To examine the correlation, if any, between fibrinogen plasma levels (FPL) and the clinical features of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). METHODS FPL were measured preoperatively in 33 patients with primary RRD. Patient characteristics and detachment features such as the numbers of breaks and the extent of the detachment were recorded; RESULTS No statistically significant cor...

PURPOSE To investigate whether postoperative light sensitivity recovers completely to the level prior to the development of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) after successful surgery. METHODS We retrospectively studied 44 eyes of 44 patients with RRD who were successfully operated and who underwent Humphrey central 30-2 perimetry postoperatively. The averaged total deviation in Humphrey...

A multiple description transform coding (MDTC) method has been reported previously. The redundancy rate distortion (RRD) performance of this coding scheme for the independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) two-dimensional (2-D) Gaussian source has been analyzed using mean squared error (MSE) as the distortion measure. At the small redundancy region, the MDTC scheme can achieve excellent R...

AIM: To determine the incidence and predictive factors for epiretinal membrane (ERM) formation in eyes with complicated primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) tamponaded silicone oil (SO). METHODS: This retrospective case-control study included 141 consecutive patients (51 eyes) without (90 ERM after pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) SO tamponade RRD. The risk were assessed using logistic re...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE To evaluate the influence of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) surgery on elderly patients in terms of visual acuity, vision-related quality of life and its cost-effectiveness. METHODS Elderly patients over 70 years old, who were diagnosed and underwent RRD surgery at Shanghai First People's Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China, from January 1, 2009, thr...

The aim of this study was to investigate the outcomes of one "8"-shaped scleral suture of minimal scleral buckling (MSB) surgery without sub-retinal drainage for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) treatment. Thirty patients (30 eyes) with RRD were recruited. Thirty eyes with RRD were repaired by one "8"-shaped scleral suture of minimal buckling without subretinal drainage by one surgeon. T...
