Abstract
Abstract Purpose Retinal detachment can lead to early and delayed post‐operative complications. The purpose of the course is to present the different complications following retinal detachment surgery with their appropriate treatments. Methods The postoperative complications will be divided according to the presentation of the patient (ie inflamed, painful eye or white painless eye) with or without visual loss.Then, IOP measurement and the results from slit lamp and fundus exam will provide us with the main signs useful for diagnosis. Results With a painful red eye, the main severe diagnoses will be the different causes of increased IOP and endophthalmitis. The main cause of increased ocular pressure is related to the internal tamponade used during surgery (gas or silicone). However, the diagnosis of massive passage of silicone in the anterior chamber should be difficult. Hyphema or cataract due to gas should prevent us from a good fundus examination. Conclusion This course will mainly focus on the different early and more delayed complications after retinal detachment surgery and will try to give some rules to decrease this risk.
