PREVALENCE, CHARACTERISTICS, AND OUTCOMES OF RHEGMATOGENOUS RETINAL DETACHMENT IN EYES WITH TRABECULECTOMY OR GLAUCOMA DRAINAGE DEVICES.
Retina 2022 November 2
PURPOSE: To describe the prevalence, management, and outcomes of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) after incisional glaucoma filtering surgery.
METHODS: All patients with a history of trabeculectomy or glaucoma drainage device surgery who were subsequently diagnosed with an RRD from January 1, 2016, to January 1, 2021, at the Wills Eye Hospital were identified.
RESULTS: Forty-six eyes met the inclusion criteria. The mean age was 60.7 ± 19.6 years, and 15 patients (32.6%) were female. Of all eyes, 34 (73.9%) were diagnosed with primary open-angle glaucoma. The mean time from most recent incisional glaucoma surgery to RRD diagnosis was 1,133 ± 1,644 days. There were 19 eyes (41.3%) with preoperative proliferative vitreoretinopathy (9 eyes [19.6%] with Grade C proliferative vitreoretinopathy) and 35 eyes (76.1%) had macula-off RRD at the time of presentation. At RRD presentation, 4 eyes (8.7%) had concomitant endophthalmitis, 5 (10.9%) had concurrent choroidal detachment, and 2 (4.7%) had concurrent vitreous hemorrhage. Primary vitrectomy was performed in most (91.3%) cases. Silicone oil tamponade was often required (71.1%). The single surgery success rate was 65.2% (30 of 46). The mean preoperative logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution visual acuity was 1.72 ± 0.78 (Snellen acuity 20/1,050), and the mean final postoperative logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution was 1.59 ± 0.89 (20/778, P = 0.2853). Of glaucoma surgeries performed, the 5-year prevalence of RRD was 0.71% (26 of 3,664, 95% Poisson confidence interval 0.48%-1.04%).
CONCLUSION: The 5-year prevalence of RRDs after trabeculectomy or glaucoma drainage device was 0.71%. Most patients presented with macula-involving detachments, often with proliferative vitreoretinopathy. Anatomical and visual outcomes were poor.
