    Glutathione-bicarbonate-Ringer's (GBR) solution reduced corneal complications and endothelial damage during pars plana vitrectomy compared to lactated Ringer's. However, visual outcomes were not improved.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Innovation
    • Ocular Surface Disease

    Background:

    • Pars plana vitrectomy is a common ophthalmic surgical procedure.
    • Intraocular irrigating solutions are essential for maintaining ocular tissues during surgery.
    • Corneal complications and endothelial damage are potential risks associated with intraocular surgery.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the safety and efficacy of two intraocular irrigating solutions during pars plana vitrectomy.
    • To evaluate the impact of glutathione-bicarbonate-Ringer's (GBR) solution versus lactated Ringer's solution on ocular tissues.
    • To assess the effect of irrigating solutions on postoperative visual outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • A comparative study involving pars plana vitrectomy.

  • Two groups of patients received different intraocular irrigating solutions: GBR solution and lactated Ringer's solution.
  • Postoperative assessment of corneal complications and endothelial cell damage.

    • Main Results:

    • The glutathione-bicarbonate-Ringer's (GBR) solution group exhibited significantly fewer corneal complications.
    • GBR solution also resulted in less damage to the corneal endothelium compared to lactated Ringer's solution.
    • Despite the observed benefits in tissue protection, visual results were disappointing in both groups.

    Conclusions:

    • Glutathione-bicarbonate-Ringer's (GBR) solution offers superior ocular surface protection during pars plana vitrectomy compared to lactated Ringer's solution.
    • Further research is needed to optimize irrigating solutions for improved visual recovery after vitrectomy.
    • The choice of irrigating solution may influence surgical outcomes beyond immediate tissue integrity.
