Abstract
Purpose To assess the long term anatomic and functional outcomes in giant retinal tear associated retinal detachment and identify factors associated with recurrence. Methods This is a retrospective monocentric study, of the patients treated for GRT-RD between 2017 and 2022 at Rothschild Foundation Hospital, Paris, France. Results A total of 65 eyes from 64 patients were analyzed with a mean follow up of 21.5 months. Mean age was 52.7 years and 89.2% of them were men. 69.3 % of eyes were phakic, mean axial length was 25.4 mm and 15 eyes had high myopia. Mean size of the giant retinal tear was 147.7 degrees. Macula was attached in 33 cases. All the patients underwent pars plana vitrectomy. Perfluorocarbon-liquids was used in almost all cases. Retinopexy was then performed. Silicone oil tamponade was used in 47 eyes and gas tamponade was used in 18 eyes (27.7%). Recurrence of RD occurred in 15 eyes. Factors associated with a recurrence of the RD were macula off detachment and presence of another retinal tear. No significant differences were made between silicone oil or gas tamponade in terms of recurrence. No significant difference was shown in postoperative outcomes between the two groups of tamponades. Discussion GRT-RD remains serious with a recurrence rate of 23% in this series. Whereas gas tamponade is less frequently used, its use showed no significant difference compared to silicone oil in terms of postoperative outcomes, and no difference in risk of recurrence of RD in this study. .
期刊介绍:

It contains a selection of patient-oriented contributions covering the etiology of eye diseases, diagnostic techniques, and advances in medical and surgical treatment. Straightforward, factual reporting provides both interesting and useful reading. In addition to original papers, ''Ophthalmologica'' features regularly timely reviews in an effort to keep the reader well informed and updated. The large international circulation of this journal reflects its importance.
