Traumatic retinal incarceration can complicate severe eye injuries. Vitrectomy surgery achieved successful reattachment in many cases, but visual outcomes varied based on incarceration site.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Retinal Surgery
  • Traumatic Eye Injury

Background:

  • Traumatic retinal incarceration into scleral wounds poses challenges for surgical repair.
  • Severe posterior segment injuries often accompany retinal incarceration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of vitrectomy techniques for eyes with traumatic retinal incarceration and retinal detachment.
  • To correlate surgical outcomes with the location and extent of retinal incarceration.

Main Methods:

  • Management of 15 consecutive eyes with traumatic retinal incarceration and retinal detachment using vitrectomy.
  • Surgical approach tailored based on the anteroposterior location and amount of incarcerated retina.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Successful anatomic reattachment was achieved in 6/7 eyes with incarceration posterior to vortex veins, but only 2 achieved vision ≥5/200.
  • In eyes with peripheral incarceration, 5/8 achieved reattachment, and 4 achieved vision ≥5/200.
  • Overall, 40% (6/15) of eyes achieved a visual acuity of 5/200 or better after a minimum six-month follow-up.

Conclusions:

  • Vitrectomy is a viable surgical option for traumatic retinal incarceration and detachment.
  • Visual outcomes are influenced by the location of retinal incarceration, with peripheral incarceration yielding better visual acuity in some cases.
