BACKGROUND: After initially successful surgery of retinal detachment, proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) is the most common cause of renewed retinal detachment. With an incidence of 5-20% it represents a frequent surgical challenge based on a pronounced epiretinal, subretinal and intraretinal scar formation. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The five most important steps leading to a successful repair of a PVR retinal detachment are described. RESULTS: 1...

BACKGROUND: Investigations have shown that the internet as a source of information in medical issues is increasing in importance. For most patients information delivered or supported by hospitals and universities is considered to be the most reliable, however, the comprehensibility of available information is often considered to be wanting. Comprehensibility scores are formulae allowing a quantitative value for the readability of a document to be calculated. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to assess data by analyzing the comprehensibility of medical information published on the websites of departments for ophthalmology of German university hospitals...

The introduction of special record forms for single, sufficiently common and important diseases has proved valuable in clinical documentation and data handling. The authors describe such forms for amotio retinae, strabismus and uveitis.

"Plus-disease" is a particular grave form of retinopathy of premature babies found in 7% of extremely premature and somatically loaded children. The following criteria are indicative of "plus-disease": location of pathological changes in the central zone of eye fundus (zone 1-2), marked vascular activity and hemorrhages in the center and on the periphery of the retina, pupil regidity, iris vasodilatation and fulminant (3 days-3 weeks) progression of the process from initial signs up to signs of extraretinal growth or exudative amotio retinae without forming premature stages typical for retinopathy (torus lines)...

Macular holes have a special position in the paradigmatic change of vitreoretinal surgery during the past 10 years. While the rationale for existence of retinal and vitreal surgery is based largely on invasive mechanical intervention in cases of large-surface epiretinal tractions, e.g., in diabetic traction amotio or detached retina with PVR, the intention of surgical treatment for macular holes is to employ a minimally invasive method, using less direct mechanical manipulation and taking into consideration physical and cell biological aspects to induce local repair processes...

Thirty-five patients with types A, B, C2, C3, and D1 proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) were followed up for 8-14 months after surgical treatment of rhegmatogenic amotio retinae. Hanz-Feld electroretinogram (ERG), rhythmic ERG to low and high-frequency stimulation, and macular ERG were recorded. Before surgery all patients presented with specific signs of changes in the retinal electrogenesis, characteristic of rhegmatogenic amotio retinae with PVR of different types. Comparative analysis of ERG and rhythmic ERG alteration showed a more expressed reaction of Mueller's glial cells in patients with types A-C2 PVR and of second order neurons in the internal nuclear layer of the retina in those with types C3 and D1 PVR...
