Title

PROFILE OF PATIENTS AND 3D HEADS UP VITREORETINAL SURGERIES PERFORMED IN A RETINAL SERVICE IN SOUTHERN BRAZIL

Introduction

Retrospective descriptive study, based on the analysis of the surgical record of the 3D digital microscope (Ngenuity®) at Hospital da Visão - Oftalmo Curitiba, from November 1, 2017 to January 17, 2019. Data related to sex, age and surgical indication. Only the main indication for surgery was considered for evaluation. Patients who did not undergo vitreoretinal surgery and patients with incomplete information in the database were excluded.

Methods

Retrospective descriptive study, based on the analysis of the surgical record of the 3D digital microscope (Ngenuity®) at Hospital da Visão - Oftalmo Curitiba, from November 1, 2017 to January 17, 2019. Data related to sex, age and surgical indication. Only the main indication for surgery was considered for evaluation. Patients who did not undergo vitreoretinal surgery and patients with incomplete information in the database were excluded.

Results

Were verified 917 records, 636 were includded in the study. Males were 54,4%. The age varied between 2 and 95 years old, with 45.44% (289 patients) aged between 61 and 80 years, and 37.89% (241 patients) between 41 and 60 years. The main surgical indications were retinal detachment (35.84%), vitreous hemorrhage (13.89%), silicone oil removal (12.73%), epiretinal membrane (10.84%) and nucleus removal with or without secondary intraocular lens (IOL) implant (10.84%).

Discussion

There are no large prospective populational studies in the literature regarding the clinical characteristics of patients and indications for vitreoretinal surgeries performed under a 3D digital microscope. Even though the best way to characterize the profile of a region is through a prospective and populational study, this retrospective study in a reference hospital in ophthalmology and retina achieved a representative number of patients, what allowed us to characterize the profile of patients and vitreoretinal surgeries performed in the population of southern Brazil in the proposed period.
