Internal drainage of subretinal fluid during scleral buckling with 27-Gauge wide angle viewing system and flute needle for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment

“`html

Purpose

This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of two methods for draining subretinal fluid during surgery for retinal detachment.

Methods

We looked at 43 patients with retinal detachment, dividing them into two groups:

  • Group A: 22 patients received internal drainage using a special tool.
  • Group B: 21 patients received external drainage during surgery.

We measured various factors including surgery time, success rates, vision improvement, and complications over a six-month follow-up period.

Results

The results showed:

  • Group A had a shorter surgery time (53.36 minutes) compared to Group B (61.24 minutes).
  • All patients in Group A had their retinas successfully reattached, while 90.48% in Group B did.
  • Group A had better vision improvement (average score of 0.21) than Group B (0.39).
  • Group B had some complications, including two patients needing additional surgery due to bleeding.

Conclusion

Internal drainage of subretinal fluid is more efficient and has fewer complications compared to external drainage during retinal detachment surgery.

Opportunities for Clinics

Based on these results, clinics can set clear goals for:

  • Improving surgery efficiency with internal drainage methods.
  • Reducing the risk of complications.
  • Enhancing patient outcomes and satisfaction.

AI Tools for Implementation

Clinics can explore AI solutions to:

  • Monitor patient outcomes.
  • Analyze surgery data.
  • Improve decision-making processes.

Next Steps

Start with a pilot project using these findings and track results to see real-world impacts.
