Abstract
Background: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings are helpful in assessing the cause of reduced visual acuity (VA) after successful rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) surgery. Objective: To study anatomical and functional results after successful RRD surgery with gas-air mixture or silicone oil (SO) tamponade using OCT. Materials and methods. 70 patients were divided into 2 groups: group I (n = 34) - gas-air mixture tamponade; group II (n = 36) - SO tamponade. At baseline, were no significant differences by gender, age and VA between the groups. Follow-up was 12 months after the surgery. OCT was performed with the Cirrus HD-OCT 4000, CARL ZEISS MEDITEC, USA. Results: VA increased significantly in both groups. Regression analysis showed lower VA in group II and statistically significant association between VA and IS/OS and ELM defects. Сonclusions. There is a strong association of disruption of the IS/OS and ELM with reduced vision after successful retinal detachment surgery. Gas-air mixture tamponade showed some benefits in comparison with SO tamponade.
Highlights
Optical coherence tomography can be used in evaluation of morphological and functional results after successful rhegmatogenous retinal detachment surgery with different tamponade agents

Summary
Optical coherence tomography can be used in evaluation of morphological and functional results after successful rhegmatogenous retinal detachment surgery with different tamponade agents. При проведении регрессионного анализа для выявления связи между ОЗ и видом тампонады показано, что у пациентов с тампонадой СМ ОЗ ниже на всех этапах обследования в сравнении с тампонадой ГВС, причём связь достоверна на 3 и 6 месяцах
