CONCLUSION: The use of 360EL in PPV for RRD repair does not improve single-surgery anatomical success in routine RRDs when compared to PPV with focal laser.
METHODS: A single site retrospective chart review was performed on 241 patients who underwent PPV for primary RRD. Patients were assigned to two groups, PPV with 360EL (n=183) and PPV without 360EL (n=59). Only cases where surgeons performed 360EL on all RRDs or surgeons who never perform 360EL on RRDs were included.
PURPOSE: To determine the efficacy of 360-degree endolaser (360EL) versus focal laser during primary vitrectomy (PPV) for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) repair.
RESULTS: The single surgery anatomical success rate in the 360EL group was 90.2% compared to 86.5% with focal laser (p=0.619). ERM formation in 360EL group at 1 year was 44.4% vs 37% with focal laser (p=0.429). CME formation within 1 year of surgery was 25.8% in 360EL group vs 11.9% with focal laser (p=0.04).
