Retinal Displacement: Providing New Insights for Retinal Detachment Surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To review the current literature on retinal displacement and provide a discussion of potential risk factors, postoperative outcomes, and future directions.

Methods

Two databases, MEDLINE and EMBASE, were mined using a directed search strategy to identify all articles on retinal displacement.

Results

We identified 1522 articles. A total of n = 14 articles were retained. We provide an overview on the potential influence of surgical type (n = 4), tamponade agents (n = 5), postoperative posture (n = 6), and preoperative retinal status (n = 5) on incidence of retinal displacement and visual outcomes (n = 8). Discussion. Pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with gas tamponade is associated with displacement rates of up to 72%,
