    Choroidal detachment occurred in 39.6% of retinal detachment surgeries, influenced by patient age and surgical technique. While impacting visual acuity and success rates, outcomes remained comparable between eyes with and without this complication.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Retinal Surgery

    Background:

    • Choroidal detachment is a known complication following retinal detachment repair.
    • Understanding its incidence and impact on visual outcomes is crucial for surgical planning.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the incidence of choroidal detachment in retinal detachment procedures.
    • To identify factors correlating with choroidal detachment.
    • To assess the impact of choroidal detachment on postoperative visual acuity and anatomic success.

    Main Methods:

    • Prospective evaluation of 154 consecutive retinal detachment procedures.
    • Analysis of patient age, subretinal fluid drainage, explant characteristics (size, position), and vortex compression.
    • Postoperative visual acuity assessment and anatomic success rate determination over 6-48 months follow-up.

    Main Results:

    • The incidence of choroidal detachment was 39.6%.
    • Key correlating factors included patient age, subretinal fluid drainage, and explant-induced vortex compression.
    • Shorter explants (≤1 quadrant) and posterior explant positioning minimized incidence.
    • Visual acuity outcomes and anatomic success rates were only slightly lower in eyes with choroidal detachment compared to those without.

    Conclusions:

    • Choroidal detachment is a frequent complication in retinal detachment surgery.
    • Surgical technique modifications, such as using smaller explants and optimizing their position, can reduce its occurrence.
    • While associated with a slight decrease in visual acuity and success rates, choroidal detachment does not preclude favorable outcomes.
