Platelet-rich fibrin membrane packing and air filling in the treatment of refractory macular holes

ObjectiveTo observe and explore the feasibility and effectiveness of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) membrane packing and air filling in the treatment of refractory macular holes. MethodsA retrospective clinical study. From January 2019 to January 2020, 17 patients with refractory macular hole (17 eyes) who diagnosed in Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University were included in the study. Among them, there were 7 males (7 eyes) and 10 females (10 eyes), with the age of 55.18±7.91 years. All eyes underwent 23G minimally invasive vitrectomy combined with internal limiting membrane stripping and PRF packing, and air filling was performed at the end of the operation. The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and optical coherence tomography angiography were performed in all eyes before surgery and at 1 week and 1, 3 months after surgery. The BCVA examination was performed using a international standard logarithmic visual acuity chart, which was converted into logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution visual acuity during statistics. Taking 3 months after surgery was as the time point to judge the efficacy, the changes of BCVA, superficial retinal vascular density (SVD), foveal avascular zone (FAZ) area and central foveal thickness (CFT) before and after surgery were compared. Paired t-test was used to compare the indicators before and after surgery. ResultsAmong the 17 eyes, there were 6, 7, and 4 eyes with giant macular hole, high myopia macular hole, and recurrent macular hole, respectively; the hole diameter was 723.94±38.30 μm. Three months after surgery, all holes were closed. Compared with before surgery, the BCVA (t=4.458) and SVD (t=2.675) increased, and the CFT (t=6.329) and FAZ area (t=4.258) decreased at 3 months after surgery, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). At the last follow-up, there was no complications such as intraocular hypertension and retinal detachment in all eyes.ConclusionMinimally invasive vitrectomy combined with internal limiting membrane stripping and PRF tamponade in the treatment of refractory macular holes can increase the closure rate, improve visual acuity and retinal blood perfusion.

Clinical outcomes of vitrectomy with air tamponade and 1-day prone positioning in the treatment of idiopathic macular hole

ObjectiveTo evaluate the surgical outcomes of 25G+ vitrectomy with air tamponade and 1-day prone positioning for idiopathic macular hole (IMH).MethodsA prospective analysis was performed on 39 patients (39 eyes) underwent 25G+ pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) combined with the internal limiting membrane (ILM) removal and fluid-air exchange for IMH from July 2012 to December 2013. After vitrectomy, patients were instructed to keep prone positioning for only 1 day (the air group). These patients were compared to 30 consecutive patients from July 2010 to July 2012, who were conducted 25G+ PPV with 25% SF6 tamponade. They remained in the same face-down position for 3 days postoperatively (SF6 group). Age, gender, logMAR BCVA, macular thickness, macular hole diameter, axial length, macular hole stages and pseudophakic status were collected as baseline characteristics in both groups. The initial hole-closure rate, visual outcome and intra-operative & post-operative complications were evaluated for 6 months. Group comparisons of numeric variables were made by using two sample t -test. Group difference of categorical variables was determined by using standard chi-square test or rank sum test.ResultsThirty nine patients (39 eyes) and 30 patients (30 eyes) were respectively enrolled in air group and SF6 group. The distribution of age (t=－1.63), gender (χ2=0.03), logMAR BCVA (t=0.39), macular thickness (t=－0.93), macular hole diameter (t=－0.70), axial length (t=－0.56), macular hole stages (Z=－0.47) and pseudophakic status (χ2=0.13) was similar in both groups. Anatomical closure of macular holes was achieved in 35 (89.7%) of the 39 eyes in the air group and in 27 eyes (90.0%) in the SF6 group. There was no significant difference of closure rate between the two groups (χ2=0.001, P=0.970). The postoperative visual acuity of gaining, stability and decreasing 2 or more 2 lines was achieved in 23 eyes,10 eyes and 6 eyes in air group and 18 eyes, 6 eyes and 6 eyes in SF6 group. The proportion of visual acuity improvement in air group was lower than that in SF6 group without the statistical significance (Z=－0.08, P=0.93). The gas bubble was absorbed sooner in the air group (mean 8.54±1.74 days) than in the SF6 group (mean 31.10±3.20 days). No retinal break, retinal detachment or endophthalmitis occurred in either group. Postoperatively intraocular pressure was elevated temporarily in 2 eyes of the air group and 3 eyes in the SF6 group. All returned to normal limit after local medication.ConclusionCompared to SF6 group, air group has similar anatomical macular hole closure rate and visual acuity rehabilitation.

Macular functional changes after vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane peeling and air filling for myopic foveoschisis by microperimetry

ObjectiveTo observe the changes of macular visual function after myopic foveoschisis (MF) and pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) combined with internal limiting membrane peeling and air filling. MethodsA single-center, retrospective study. From October 2018 to October 2019, 29 MF inpatients (32 eyes) in Tianjin Eye Hospital were included in this study. There were 3 males (4 eyes) and 26 females (28 eyes). The age was 63.00±3.45 years old. Equivalent spherical lens degree was －14.16±2.54 D, and axial length was 29.14±1.04 mm. Among them, 3 patients (3 eyes) had lamellar macular holes. All eyes underwent standard pars plana three-channel 25G PPV combined with internal limiting membrane peeling and air filling. Before surgery and at 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery, macular microperimetry was performed with a macular integrity assessment instrument, and the mean retinal sensitivitie (MS) within 10° of the macula, fovea 2° and 4° fixation rates (P1, P2), 63% and 95% bivariate contour ellipse area (BCEA) were recorded. The comparison of MS, P1, P2, 63%BCEA and 95%BCEA at different times before and after surgery was performed by paired t test; the comparison of fixation stability rate was performed by χ2 test. ResultsCompared with before surgery, there were significant differences in the improvement of MS in affected eyes at 1, 3 and 6 months after surgery (t=－2.208, －3.435,－4.919; P=0.038, 0.002, 0.000). In the pairwise comparison at different times after surgery, only 6 months after surgery and 1 month after surgery were significantly different (P=0.036). Compared with the preoperative P1, P2, 63%BCEA and 95%BCEA, the P1 and P2 of the eyes gradually increased after surgery, while the 63%BCEA and 95%BCEA gradually decreased, however, the difference was not statistically significant (P1: t=－1.595,－1.698,－1.966; P=0.125, 0.104, 0.062. P2: t=－1.622,－1.654,－1.707; P=0.119, 0.112, 0.102. 63%BCEA: t=1.410, 1.409, 1.553; P=0.172, 0.173, 0.135. 95%BCEA: t=1.412, 1.408, 1.564; P=0.172, 0.173, 0.132). Six months after surgery, all the eyes underwent anatomical repositioning of the macular area, and no serious complications such as full-thickness macular hole and macular hole retinal detachment were found. ConclusionsPPV with internal limiting membrane peeling and air filling is an effective and safe method for MF, and the macular function improved significantly within 6 months postoperatively.

New insight into application and function of air or gas for vitreoretinal surgery

At present, tamponade agent which being used in retinal surgery is mainly sterile air, gas and silicone oil. Sterile air is mostly used in the treatment of simple retinal detachment. Gas or silicone oil as tamponade is greatly applied for complicated retinal detachment. In recent years, with the application of micro-invasive vitrectomy under a wide-angle viewing system and perioperative anti-vascular endothelial growth factor drugs, application of intraocular filling materials also has changed. The application of silicone oil is significantly reduced. Percentage rate of gas as tamponade for retinal detachment is reduced. The application of sterile air as tamponade is rising. With selecting indication carefully and picking up the suitable air or gas, doctor will reduce the workload. It will also reduce the social burden and benefit patients.
