| Summary: | Purpose. To determine the factors associated with the development of a macular hole
(MH) after successful rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) surgery. Methods. Of 1260 eyes that underwent surgery for RRD between April 2005 and March
2010 in our hospital, the medical records of 4 cases from our hospital and one case from
another hospital that had undergone RRD surgery and later developed MH were
reviewed. This is a retrospective study.
Results. 837 eyes underwent pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with or without scleral
buckling (SB), and 423 eyes underwent SB. The four cases that developed MH had
PPV alone and one case had PPV with SB. After including the results of three earlier
reports, the mean interval for the MH to develop after SB alone was significantly shorter
than after PPV alone or after PPV with SB. Conclusions. The SB procedures might accelerate the development of MH after RRD
surgery. |
