Background. Primary pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) is often performed by vitreoretinal fellows. We aimed to evaluate the incidence of retinal breaks and detachments (RD) after fellow-performed PPV. Methods. We reviewed 119 consecutive cases of standard 3-port primary PPVs on 115 patients at a teaching institution from 2003 to 2006. In all cases, the primary surgeon was a vitreoretinal fellow. Patients with previous RD were excluded. Cases were reviewed for postoperative retinal detachments, and all patients were followed for up to 1 year. Results. Intraoperative retinal breaks occurred in 5 of 119 eyes (4.2%). One break was associated with sclerotomy and 4 were not. Postoperative RD occurred in 8 of 119 eyes (6.7%). Two RDs were sclerotomy related, 5 were not, and 1 was of indeterminate origin. Conclusions. Incidence of retinal breaks and RD following primary PPV by vitreoretinal fellows is low and comparable to that of fellowship-trained surgeons.
背景。原发性玻璃体切除术(PPV)通常由玻璃体视网膜专科住院医师进行。我们旨在评估专科住院医师进行PPV术后视网膜裂孔和视网膜脱离(RD)的发生率。方法。我们回顾了2003年至2006年在一家教学机构对115例患者进行的119例连续标准三通道原发性PPV病例。所有病例的主刀医生均为玻璃体视网膜专科住院医师。排除既往有RD的患者。对病例进行术后视网膜脱离检查,所有患者随访长达1年。结果。119只眼中有5只(4.2%)发生术中视网膜裂孔。1例裂孔与巩膜切开术有关,4例无关。119只眼中有8只(6.7%)发生术后RD。2例RD与巩膜切开术有关,5例无关,1例来源不明。结论。玻璃体视网膜专科住院医师进行原发性PPV术后视网膜裂孔和RD的发生率较低,与接受专科培训的外科医生相当。
