Objective To explore the therapeutic value and effects of relaxing retinotomy for perforating traction retinal detachment(PTRD). Method A retrospective survey was done in 21 patinets (21 eyes) with PTRD who underwent vitrectomy combined with relaxing retinotomy in our hospital from 1998 to 2001.Results The retinae were completely reattached in all 21 cases. The visual acuity of 12 patients (57%) was counting finger, and the best visual acuity was 0.05. Among the 18 patients who were followed up for 6 to 25 months, 14(77.8%) remained retinal reattachment. Conclusions Relaxing retinotomy is effective for anatomic reattachment of PTRD, especially to the patients with retinal incarceration and severe proliferative vitreoretinopathy.

The opportunity of vitrectomy for opening eyeball injury is one of the important factors affecting the prognosis. Anterior segment wound repaired by routine suturing needs following and continuous treatment with vitrectomy. The key technique of the following treatment should be the debridement of the inside of wound and expurgation of the surrounding tissues adjacent to the wound, and the emphasis should be put on retinal reattchment and stable repairment.
Objectives To assess the clinical effectiveness of non-penetrating trabecular surgery versus trabeculectomy for open angle glaucoma. Methods We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (issue 2, 2007), MEDLINE (1966 to May 2008), EMbase (1980 to May 2008), and CMB-disk (1979 to May 2008). We also hand searched relevant journals and conference proceedings. Data were extracted by two reviewers independently using an extraction form. The Cochrane Collaboration’s RevMan 5.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Results Three RCTs involving 127 participants (144 eyes) with previously untreated open angle glaucoma were included. Meta-analysis showed that compared with non-penetrating trabecular surgery, trabeculectomy increased the proportion of patients with reduced postoperative intraocular pressure (WMD2.78, 95%CI 1.41 to 4.15), improved the operation success rate (RR 0.53, 95%CI 0.37 to 0.77), and reduced the use of postoperative antiglaucoma medication (WMD 0.96, 95%CI 0.84 to 1.08). Non-penetrating trabecular surgery reduced the incidence of postoperative complications (RR 17.00, 95%CI 8.36 to 26.00). Conclusion Since the sample sizes of the included trials are relatively small, and the two procedures are also related to progressive visual field loss and optic disk damage, more well-designed large-scale RCTs are required.
Objective
To evaluate the effect of vitrectomy on traumatic retinal detachment combined with choroidal damage.
Methods
The data of 1075 traumatic eyes which underwent vitrectomy from 1995 to 2005 were retrospectively analyzed. Forty-one patients (41eyes, 3.8%) with different kinds of choroidal injuries, including traumatic retinal detachment combined with serous choroidal detachment, hemorrhagic choroidal detachment (including traum atic separation of choroid and sclera) or subretinal hemorrhage, underwent closed vitrectomy. The operative prognosis in different groups were analyzed statisti cally.
Results
The retina reattached in 38 eyes (92.7%), in cluding 10 with the final visual acuity gt; 0.1(24.4%);the visual acuity improved postoperatively in 29 (70.7%),including 14 in subretinal hemorrhage group (87.5%, 14/16),12 in serous choroidal detachment group(75.0%, 12/16)and 3 in hemorrhagic choroidal detachment(33.3%, 3/9) (chi;2=8.394, P=0.015); amaurosis was found in 6 eyes, all of which were with hemorrhagic choroidal deta chment preoperatively. In 17 eyes with ocular hypotension, a persistent silicone oil tamponade was needed in 8(47.1%), in which 5 were in the hemorrhagic choroidal detachement group (55.6%, 5/9).
Conclusions
Appropriate vitrectomy is helpful for traumatic retinal detachment combined with choroidal damage, and the operative prognosis of the patients combined with subretinal hemorrhage is good. The operative prognosis of hemorrhagic choroidal detachment is worse than that of the serous choroidal detachment. However, it doesnprime;t mean that all the hemorrhagic choroidal detachment eyes need ocular enucleation. The prognosis of eyes with severe traumatic choroidal detachment was poor, and the eyes are with ocular hypotension which needs a long-term silicone oil tamponade.
