To audit the structural and functional outcomes of surgery for acute tractional retinal detachment due to retinopathy or prematurity between 2004 and 2014 in Oxford UK.Consecutive operations were identified from a surgical log. Clinical data including demography, perioperative data, and retinal outcomes were extracted into a spreadsheet and compared against two international data sets referenced in the method section. Nonparametric tests (Fisher's exact, and the Mann-Whitney U-tests) were used for statistical analysis with a p-value 0.05 considered significant.Twenty-nine eyes of 19 babies underwent surgery. The mean age (SD) at final follow-up was 6.4 (3.7) years of age and comparable to the reference data sets. The mean birth weight and gestational age of babies matched the ETROP data set referenced in the method section. Anatomical success was obtained in 16/29 (55.2%) of eyes and more likely with stage 4 ROP than stage 5 disease (p 0.05). Thirteen of 29 eyes (44.8%) obtained form vision post-operatively. All instances of macular retinal reattachment during follow up were verified with post-operative OCT.Surgery for stage 5 ROP is not worthwhile. For stage 4 ROP it yielded better visual outcomes than ETROP but registration for visual impairment was not prevented. Innovation such as endoscopic vitrectomy could yield better outcomes. Earlier detection of vitreoretinal fibrosis could result in timelier referral. A formally funded national service is needed to ring-fence resource to avoid delays in access to surgery, which has a narrow surgical window. |
