Abstract
Introduction: The aim of this study was to report surgical outcomes and risk factors for primary surgical failure following rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) repair
Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, RRD patients who underwent primary surgery at a tertiary center between January 1, 2006 and December 31, 2020 were enrolled. Surgical failure was defined as reoperation within 60 days postoperatively due to retinal re-detachment and putative risk factors for surgical failure were analyzed.
Results: Of 2383 eyes (2335 patients), 1342 (56.3%) underwent vitrectomy, and 1041 (43.7%) underwent scleral buckling. The surgical failure rate was 9.1% overall, and 6.0% and 13.1% for the vitrectomy and scleral buckling groups, respectively. In the multivariate logistic regression analysis, surgical failure was associated with surgical experience (first-year fellow vs. senior professor) (odds ratio [OR], 1.66; P=0.018), scleral buckling (OR, 2.33; P40 years (OR, 1.84; P=0.004), male sex (OR, 1.65; P=0.015), and first-year fellows compared to senior professors (OR, 1.95; P=0.013) in the scleral buckling group were associated with surgical failure. Lens status were not associated with the surgical failure rate.
Discussion/Conclusion: In this large retrospective study using data from Korea, vitrectomy was superior to scleral buckling in terms of primary anatomical outcomes in the management of RRD. First-year fellows were a risk factor for surgical failure, especially for scleral buckling. Longer AL was a significant parameter for predicting the success rates.
