TitelAmbulatory Locoregional Vitreoretinal Surgery : Pilot Study of first 40 cases
DoelTo evaluate the post-operative surgical results and patient satisfaction after vitreoretinal surgery performed on ambulatory basis with locoregional anesthesia in an extramural setting.
MethodesRetrospective, interventional , non-comparative non-randomized consecutive cohort study

Participants : All vitreoretinal surgeries performed in our department between 01/12/2009 and 31/07/2010

Methods : The medical records were reviewed of ­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­ 40 patients after pars plana vitrectomy, recording the operation technique and the postoperative complication rate. A questionnaire was submitted to patients with regard to procedure related comfort and inconveniences
ResultatenFourty cases were recorded. The range of procedures was wide. One patient developped a postoperative retinal detachment, caused by a pre-existing retinal weakness. The patients described being pain-free in a significantely high precentage of cases and ’comfortable during surgery’ in nearly all of the procedures. The outpatient setting was described as being threshold-lowering in all of the patients.
ConclusieVitreoretinal surgery is suitable to be performed in an ambulatory setting with locoregional setting in most of the clinical presentations. The complication rate was not higher than the average standards. The patient comfort was high and avoiding hospital admission lowers the surgical threshold and the overall costs of these procedures.
