THE METHOD OF DOUBLE CONTRAST IN THE INTRAOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS OF REGMATOGENIC RETINAL DETACHMENT

Usually, the recurrence rate of regmatogenic retinal detachment (ROS) after surgery ranges from 3% to 30%. In cases where the disease recurs after successful surgery, in 60% of cases the main factor is the progression of proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR), which makes it one of the most severe complications that can occur in the postoperative period. In addition, after removal or absorption of a tampon agent (in particular, endotamponade with silicone oil), recurrent retinal detachment may occur due to the inability to detect retinal rupture during surgery. Objective: this study is aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of diagnostic methods used during operations for regmatogenic retinal detachment. After completing the standard stages of central vitrectomy, the group of patients was divided into two equal groups: the first group included patients who received the double contrast method, and the second group (control) – patients who underwent the traditional surgical method. Results and discussion: in patients of the control group, there was a significant increase in the number of relapses of ROS. In addition, it was found that an increase in the number of retinal tears correlated with a greater likelihood of macular involvement; Statistical evaluation has shown that the absence of AST and tight adhesion of the posterior hyaloid membrane to the retina and small retinal tears increase the risk of recurrence of ROS due to the progression of PVR.
