Abstract

Study Design: Retrospective case series.
Purpose: To evaluate outcomes of short-term perfluorocarbon liquid (PFCL) for Autologous Retinal Transplantation (ART) in recurrent retinal detachments (ReRD) with large full-thickness secondary macular holes (FTMH).
Methods: Eyes with ReRD-MH with Minimal hole diameter >1000µm underwent ART followed by a staged surgery with short-term PFCL- silicon oil (SO) tamponade (double fill) for 5-7 days. A second surgery was performed where PFCL was removed, and eyes were closed under SO tamponade. Success was defined as a closed MH without foveal defect of the neurosensory retina and complete retinal reattachment.
Results: 3 eyes (1 eye/per patient) were included, with median BCVA improving from 2 LogMAR to 1.1 LogMAR (p<0.05). Anatomical success was achieved in 100% eyes. No adverse effects were reported.
Conclusion: Short-term PFCL endotamponade is safe and effective for ART in ReRD associated with large FTMH.
