Abstract
Objective: To compare the complications related to silicone oil, and anatomical and functional outcomes in patients nursed in different postoperative positionings after pars plana vitrectomy with silicone oil injection in retinal surgery.
Methods: The retrospective cohort study was conducted at the Department of Ophthalmology, King AbdulAziz Medical City, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and comprised data of patients who underwent pars plana vitrectomy with silicone oil tamponade from January 2016 to October 2022. The patients were divided into two groups depending on how they were nursed in the postoperative period. Group A patients were nursed in postoperative face-down positioning and group B patients were nursed in the face-up position. Complications related to silicone oil tamponade, visual outcomes and anatomical results were compared between the groups. Data was analyzed using SPSS 26.
Results: Of the 157, 97(62%) were males and 60(38%) were females. The overall mean age was 5320 years. Group A had 87(55.4%) patients, while group B had 70(44.6%). There were 185 eyes involved; 104(56.2%) in group A and 81(43.8%) in group B. Overall, mean postoperative follow-up duration was 2519 months. Migration of silicone oil in the anterior chamber was more common in group A (p=0.470). Pupil block glaucoma was seen in 2(1.9%) eyes in group A only.Silicone oil-related complications, functional outcomes and anatomical outcomes were non-significantly different between the grpups (p>0.05) except a weak significant difference with respect to redetachments after removal of silicone oil (p=0.047).
Conclusion: There was no difference seen in terms of complications as well as anatomical and physiological outcomes related to silicone oil tamponade in face-down or face-up postoperative positioning after pars plana vitrectomy with silicone oil tamponade for complicated retinal detachment surgery.
期刊介绍：
Primarily being a medical journal, JPMA publishes scholarly research focusing on the various fields in the areas of health and medical education. It publishes original research describing recent advances in health particularly clinical studies, clinical trials, assessments of pathogens of diagnostic importance, medical genetics and epidemiological studies. Review articles highlighting importance of various issues in the domain of public health, drug research and medical education are also accepted. As a leading journal of South Asia, JPMA remains cognizant of the recent advances in the rapidly growing fields of biomedical sciences, it invites and encourages scholars to write short reviews and invited editorials on the emerging issues. We particularly aim to promote health standards of developing countries by encouraging manuscript submissions on issues affecting the public health and health delivery services.
