Abstract

Background: We conducted a prospective clinical study to elucidate the role of preoperative vitreous hemorrhage in the development of postoperative proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) in primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.

Materials And Methods: We prospectively evaluated 409 eyes of 390 patients affected by primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment referred before any failed attempt to reattach the retina. Single and multiple logistic regression analysis were used to test 14 categories of variables.

Results: Postoperative PVR occurred in 48 (11.7% of 409 eyes). Postoperative PVR developed in 41 (11.8%) of the 347 eyes with no preoperative vitreous hemorrhage, and 7 (11.3%) of the 62 eyes with preoperative vitreous hemorrhage (P = 0.90). The results of multiple logistic regression analysis showed that only four variables were significant factors which had independently and jointly an effect on the risk of postoperative PVR: (1) 90 degrees or greater circumferential extent of the retinal tears; (2) preoperative PVR grade B; (3) preoperative PVR grade C-D; and (4) the use of cyrotreatment as the method of retinopexy.

Conclusion: With the surgical techniques currently used, mild preoperative vitreous hemorrhage is not an independent risk factor for postoperative PVR in primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. The role of moderate and severe vitreous hemorrhage remains to be fully evaluated in a larger series of eyes.
