PATCHING RETINAL BREAKS WITH HEALAFLOW IN 27-GAUGE VITRECTOMY FOR THE TREATMENT OF RHEGMATOGENOUS RETINAL DETACHMENT.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To report the surgical outcomes of primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) repaired by 27-gauge pars plana vitrectomy combined with Healaflow patch and air tamponade.

Methods

In an initial vitro experiment, we observed and compared the dissolution and displacement of the dispersion spots of 0.05-mL Healaflow and sodium hyaluronate. We then performed a prospective, interventional cohort study on 38 eyes in 37 consecutive patients with primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. All eyes underwent pars plana vitrectomy combined with Healaflow patch and air tamponade; the postoperative period did not involve prone positioning. The primary and final anatomical attachment rate, best-corrected visual acuity, and intraoperative and postoperative complications were ev
