RetinaRounds™ 149: Proliferative Vitreoretinopathy

Today we will discuss tips for peeling PVR membranes in PVR-associated retinal detachments.  While primary retinal detachment repair typically has a high success rate (85-90+% success rate), primary retinal detachment repair in eyes with PVR has a lower success rate, closer to 70%.  Although pharmacologic adjuvants, such as methotrexate, hold promise for decreasing the risk of PVR-associated retinal re-detachment, good technique and thorough peeling of PVR membranes during primary retinal detachment repair are critical to achieve good anatomic outcomes.  Today’s case is presented by guest surgeon of the week, Dr. David Lozano Giral, who performed this surgery as a fellow at the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico in Mexico City.  Dr. Lozano Giral is Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology at UCLA where he also serves as Director of the Ocular Trauma Service.  This is a challenging case with a very nice post-operative outcome.  We want to thank Dr. Lozano Giral for sharing this case!
