PURPOSE
To evaluate the factors for postoperative formation of epiretinal membrane (ERM) in vitrectomized eyes with silicone oil tamponade for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). METHODS: Retrospective evaluation was performed in 93 vitrectomized eyes with silicone oil tamponade for RRD. Fifty-two (55.9%) were male and 41 (44.1%) were female, and the mean age was 51.8 years. RESULTS: ERM was developed postoperatively in 32 eyes (34.8%) with a mean onset of formation of 3.2 months postoperatively. Univariate analysis revealed that ERM was significantly more frequent in the eyes receiving cryoretinopexy, in the eyes with RRD involving 2 quadrants or more, and in the eyes with preoperative vitreous hemorrhage(P<0.05). Multivariate analysis revealed that ERM was significantly more frequent in the eyes receiving cryoretinopexy and in the eyes with preoperative vitreous hemorrhage.(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that avoiding or minimizing cryoretinopexy and completely removing vitreous hemorrhage are important to prevent ERM from developing in the cases of vitrectomy with silicone oil tamponade for RRD. |
