标题：Comparison of heads up three dimensional visualization system to conventional microscope in retinopathy of prematurity related tractional retinal detachment
摘要：To report the outcomes, advantages and disadvantages of a heads-up three-dimensional (3D) visualization system compared to the conventional microscope in pediatric tractional retinal detachment (TRD) surgery secondary to advanced stage retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Medical records of patients with ROP stage 4 or 5 who underwent surgery for tractional retinal detachment at King Khaled Eye Specialist Hospital between September 2017 and July 2019 were identified and reviewed. Eyes were divided into 2 groups, eyes that underwent surgery with a 3D heads-up platform (3D group) and eyes that underwent surgery with a conventional microscope (conventional group). Data were collected on neonatal history, visual acuity, intraoperative complications and success rates between groups.Eighteen eyes of 14 patients who underwent surgical repair of TRD related to ROP. Postoperative outcomes were compared between 10 eyes (7 patients) in the 3D group and 8 eyes (7 patients) in the conventional group There was no statistically significant difference in success rate between both groups (75% conventional group vs 70% 3D group). Partial or complete reattachment was achieved in 7 eyes in 3D group compared to 6 eyes in conventional group. Lower postmenstrual age at the time of the first surgery and presence of retinal breaks were associated with poorer surgical outcome. Heads up 3D visualization system is feasible in tractional retinal detachment related to ROP with similar success rate and no increased risk of complications when compared to conventional microscope. This system may be advantageous in advanced pediatric tractional retinal detachment surgeries.
