[Retinal detachment in pseudophakic patients. Apropos of 39 cases].
Pseudophakic Retinal Detachment (PRD) is of major concern, because since 1981, the number of patients receiving implants per year has been higher than that not implanted in the United States. Recently, the number of PRD has exceeded that of Aphakic Retinal Detachment (A.R.D.). This has been observed over the last two years in our unit. We report on 39 cases treated in the unit of Pr METGE between April 1986 and April 1988; P.R.D. characteristics, surgical procedures and anatomic results are presented. We have distinguished 4 types of P.R.D. Differences in prognosis may be imputed to the larger number of undetected tears and the more advanced vitreo-retinal proliferation in PRD as compared with A.R.D. Surgical procedures in PRD are identical with those of A.R.D., and implant may be maintained. Reinterventions, vitrectomy, and internal tamponnement are more frequently needed. The best prognosis observed in our patients occurred for PRD following ECCE + posterior chamber lens without peroperatory complications.
