Intra- and post-operative risk of retinal breaks during vitrectomy for macular hole and vitreomacular traction.

<h4>Background/objective</h4>To evaluate the development of intra- and post-operative retinal breaks after pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for macular hole (MH) and/or vitreomacular traction (VMT).<h4>Subjects/methods</h4>Medical records of patients who underwent PPV at Kellogg E...

description <h4>Background/objective</h4>To evaluate the development of intra- and post-operative retinal breaks after pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for macular hole (MH) and/or vitreomacular traction (VMT).<h4>Subjects/methods</h4>Medical records of patients who underwent PPV at Kellogg Eye Center between 1/1/2005-6/30/2018, were evaluated in three groups: group 1, MH/VMT (n = 136); group 2, epiretinal membrane (ERM) without VMT (n = 270); and group 3, diagnostic vitrectomy (DV) or vitreous opacities (n = 35). Statistical analyses were conducted using SAS.<h4>Results</h4>20.6% of patients with MH/VMT, 8.5% of patients with ERM, and 5.7% of patients with DV or vitreous opacities had either intra-operative or post-operative breaks. Indication of MH/VMT versus ERM was a significant predictor for this outcome (p = .0112). The incidence of retinal breaks was higher in operations using 23-gauge versus 25-gauge PPV (25.0% vs. 7.4%, p < .0001).<h4>Conclusions</h4>The presence of MH and/or VMT is a significant risk factor for retinal breaks from PPV, as is use of 23-gauge vitrectomy.
