Cyanoacrylate adhesive shows promise for repairing retinal tears in rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). This innovative technique avoids the need for postoperative prone positioning, offering a valuable alternative for specific patient cases.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Retinal Surgery
  • Biomaterials

Background:

  • Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) poses a significant risk to vision.
  • Traditional RRD repair often requires prolonged postoperative prone positioning.
  • Previous vitrectomy and retinopexy procedures complicated this patient's RRD management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate cyanoacrylate adhesive for retinal tear repair in RRD.
  • To assess anatomical and functional outcomes of this novel technique.
  • To explore advantages over conventional RRD repair methods.

Main Methods:

  • A case study involving a patient with complex RRD and prior failed vitrectomy.
  • Surgical repair utilized 23-gauge pars plana vitrectomy and cyanoacrylate adhesive to seal retinal tears.

  • Perfluorocarbon liquid (PFCL) was used for retinal stabilization; no intraocular tamponade was employed.

    • Main Results:

    • Successful retinal reattachment achieved and maintained for six months.
    • Significant visual acuity improvement from hand motion to counting fingers by two months.
    • No complications such as proliferative vitreoretinopathy or adhesive migration were observed.

    Conclusions:

    • Cyanoacrylate adhesive is a promising option for complex RRD repair.
    • This method eliminates the need for postoperative head positioning.
    • It offers a valuable alternative, particularly for patients unable to adhere to positioning protocols.
