Real-world outcomes and complications of different surgical approaches for significant submacular haemorrhages.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate the outcomes and complications after different surgical management of cases with significant sumacular hemorrhage (SMH) of size more than 4 disc diameter (DD).

Methods

It was a retrospective interventional study. All consecutive 103 cases of significant SMHs were treated by vitrectomy and divided into three groups. In Group A (<4 weeks, confined to the macula or extending inferiorly, n = 62), vitrectomy, subretinal cocktail of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), antivascular endothelial growth factor, and air with SF6 gas; in Group B (4-8 weeks, extending beyond macula, n = 31), subretinal tPA followed by SMH drainage either by retinotomy (Group B-1, n = 17) or by temporal 180-degree retinectomy (Group B-2, n = 14) with silicone oil (SO) tamponade; and in
