Demographic and clinical characteristics and effectiveness of treatment of patients with combined ocular pathologies by vitrectomy due to retinal detachment
Abstract
Purpose – to evaluate the demographic and clinical characteristics and treatment efficiency of patients by vitrectomy due to retinal detachment against the background of combined eye pathologies. The observation was conducted in the Clinic of Educational Surgery of the Azerbaijan State Medical Institute named after A. Aliyev. The case histories of 500 patients diagnosed with retinal detachment against the background of combined eye pathologies were studied by random sampling, 197 of whom underwent vitrectomy. Data on the demographic and clinical characteristics of these patients were collected. Before the operation, visual acuity and intraocular pressure were assessed. Information on registered complications after the operation, the results of optical coherence tomography on day 10 after treatment, as well as visual acuity indicators were provided for in the observation program and obtained in a standard manner for all patients. The obtained results were processed statistically using the "data analysis" package of the Excel program. The collected data were grouped by variants of features, the specific weight of each group and subgroup in the aggregate was calculated. The obtained data showed that in 197 (34.9±2.2%) patients with retinal detachment against the background of combined pathologies who underwent vitrectomy, the gender difference was not significant. The overwhelming majority of patients were admitted for treatment with a great delay. Basically, combined pathologies of the cornea (16.2%), lens (45.2%) and vitreous body (5.3%) prevailed. Combined eye pathologies in patients with retinal detachment during vitrectomy are often complicated by choroidal rupture (4.1%), increased intraocular pressure (7.6%), diplopia (3.6%), hemophthalmos (2.5%) and cataract (22.8%). The main etiologic factors of retinal detachment against the background of combined eye pathologies are myopia (50.3%), eye injuries (30.9%).
