Abstract EN
Traumatic retinal detachments are a significant cause of morbidity.
There are currently no evidence-based guidelines on the appropriate time to perform vitreoretinal surgery to repair a traumatic retinal detachment.
Early intervention, within seven days of the inciting trauma, may decrease proliferative vitreoretinopathy and postoperative endophthalmitis.
Later intervention may yield a reduced risk of inflammation and hemorrhage, particularly in cases of concomitant open globe injuries.
This article reviews the literature on the management of retinal detachments associated with ocular trauma from the years 2006 to 2016.
Particular focus was placed on the timing of surgery, concomitant open globe injury, anatomical success rates, visual acuity, and complication rates.
In this review, anatomical success was not significantly related to timing of intervention when compared between early and delayed intervention in eyes with and without concomitant open globe injuries.
Visual acuities postoperatively varied widely despite timing of intervention due to the large variation in mechanism and extent of ocular injuries.
Proliferative vitreoretinopathy was a common complication.
Preliminary data indicate that endophthalmitis rates may be lower when early vitreoretinal surgery is performed.
There is insufficient data to conclude whether early or delayed surgery leads to improved outcomes, highlighting the need for further research in this domain.
