A study of pneumatic retinopexy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment showed a 54% success rate in eyes that had cataract surgery and overall success rates far below results of a key clinical trial.
STOCKHOLM — What may be the largest study of an in-office procedure to repair the most common type of retinal detachment has shown real-world outcomes lag far behind those reported in a pivotal clinical trial.
Other complications the researchers reported were epiretinal membrane, accounting for 43.4% of adverse events, followed by vitreous hemorrhage at 10.4%. The reason eyes that did not have cataract surgery fared better than eyes that did is because the implanted lens sometimes develops fibrosis in the capsule that can obscure the surgeon's view of small breaks in the retina.
