Abstrakt:	Purpose: Proliferative retinal changes may occur postsurgery for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD), possibly preceding recurrent detachment. This study aims to establish the groundwork for an imaging system capable of discerning changes in retinal vessel tortuosity after RRD repair, analyzing widefield optical coherence tomography angiography (WF-OCTA) images. Methods: Eighty-eight eyes of 86 patients with RRD who underwent surgical procedures and had repeated imaging with clear widefield optical coherence tomography (WF-OCT) and WF-OCTA on different postoperative days were enrolled in this retrospective study. We compared WF-OCTA images over time to identify alterations in retinal vessel tortuosity and observed regional changes in retinal morphology. Results: After image processing, changes in retinal vessel tortuosity were detected in 66 quadrants. These changes, attributed to retinal traction from proliferative membranes, were observed in 56 quadrants, among which retinal thickness remained unchanged in seven sectors (12.5%) according to the WF-OCT map. In nine quadrants, changes in retinal vessel tortuosity were attributed to changes in subretinal fluid, aligning with observable variations in retinal thickness. Conclusions: Observation of vessel tortuosity changes using WF-OCTA can help detect early postoperative proliferative changes in eyes with RRD. Translational Relevance: Because WF-OCTA can detect minute vessel tortuosity changes, it can offer a noninvasive alternative for the detection of early postoperative proliferative changes.
