Purpose.
To report the safety and efficacy of adjustable postoperative position for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD).
Methods.
Retrospective review of 536 consecutive RRD eyes that underwent vitrectomy surgery for retina repair from year 2008 to 2014.
The retinal breaks were divided into superior, lateral (nasal, temporal, and macular), and inferior locations, according to the clock of breaks.
Patients with superior and lateral break location were allowed to have facedown position or lateral decubitus position postoperatively, while patients with inferior break location were allowed to have facedown position.
Results.
403 eyes of 400 patients were included.
The mean follow-up interval was 22.7 ± 21.3 months.
The overall primary retinal reattachment rate was 93.3%.
There were 24 (6.0%), 273 (67.7%), and 106 (26.3%) patients with superior, lateral, and inferior break location, respectively.
The primary reattachment rate was 95.8%, 92.3%, and 95.3% accordingly.
After further divided the break location into subgroups as a function of duration of symptom, postoperative lens situation, number of retinal breaks, and different vitreous tamponade, the primary reattachment rates were all higher than 82%.
Conclusion.
Adjustable postoperative positioning is effective and safe for RRD repair with different break locations.
Choosing postoperative position appropriately according to retinal break locations could be recommended.
