Anatomy of the Eyeball01:20

Anatomy of the Eyeball

The eye is a spherical, hollow structure composed of three tissue layers. The outer layer — the fibrous tunic, comprises the sclera — a white structure — and the cornea, which is transparent. The sclera encompasses some of the ocular surface, most of which is not visible. However, the 'white of the eye' is distinctively visible in humans compared to other species. The cornea, a clear covering at the front of the eye, enables light penetration. The eye's middle layer, the vascular tunic,...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Peripheral 360 degrees retinectomy effectively manages complicated retinal detachments, achieving retinal reattachment in 70% of cases. This procedure offers a viable option when other treatments fail.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Retinal Surgery

Background:

  • Complicated retinal detachments pose significant challenges in vision preservation.
  • 360 degrees peripheral retinectomy is a surgical technique employed in complex cases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the functional and anatomical outcomes of 360 degrees peripheral retinectomy.
  • To report complications associated with this surgical management.

Main Methods:

  • Pars plana vitrectomy with 360 degrees peripheral retinectomy was performed.
  • Intraoperative endolaser and silicone oil tamponade were utilized.
  • Postoperative assessment included visual acuity, intraocular pressure, and retinal status.

Main Results:

  • Retinal reattachment was achieved in 70% of the 20 eyes studied.
  • 40% of patients achieved a visual acuity of 5/200 or greater.
  • No significant correlation was found between preoperative/postoperative visual acuity and diagnosis with anatomical outcome.

Conclusions:

  • 360 degrees peripheral retinectomy is an effective procedure for achieving retinal flattening.
  • This technique serves as a valuable option for complicated retinal detachments when other treatments are not feasible.
