    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To analyze vitreoretinal (VR) complications and treatment outcomes in eyes undergoing modified osteo-odonto-keratoprosthesis (OOKP) surgery. DESIGN: Retrospective case series. PARTICIPANTS: All patients who underwent modified OOKP (mOOKP) surgery at a tertiary eye-care center from March 2003 to February 2013 were included. METHODS: Medical records were reviewed for relevant medical history, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), slit-lamp examination, ultrasound scan, oral examination findings, and VR complications. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The BCVA at the last visit. Optimal anatomic outcome was attached retina with a normal intraocular pressure at the last visit. RESULTS: A total of 92 eyes of 90 patients were included. Indications for OOKP included Stevens-Johnson syndrome (n = 53), chemical injury (n = 36), and ocular cicatricial pemphigoid (n = 3). A total of 41 eyes of 39 patients developed VR complications, including vitritis (n = 21), retinal detachment (RD) (n = 12; primary RD = 5), retroprosthetic membrane (RPM) (n = 10; primary RPM = 2), endophthalmitis (n = 8), vitreous hemorrhage (VH) (n = 5; primary VH = 1), serous choroidal detachment (n = 5), hemorrhagic choroidal detachment (n = 2), and leak-related hypotony (n = 1). Mean interval from mOOKP surgery to occurrence of VR complication(s) was 43.8 months (median, 41.9 months; range, 0.2-95.5 months). After treatment of VR complication, visual improvement was seen in 17 eyes (42%) (mean improvement = 1.2 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution [logMAR]; median, 0.8 logMAR; range, 0.1-2.5 logMAR), visual decline in 7 eyes (14%) (mean decline in BCVA = 0.6 logMAR; median, 0.4 logMAR; range, 0.3-1.8 logMAR), and no change in BCVA in 17 eyes (42%). However, BCVA ≥6/60 was retained in 19 eyes and ≥6/18 was retained in 9 eyes after final VR treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Vitreoretinal complications constitute a significant cause of visual morbidity in eyes undergoing mOOKP surgery and pose a challenging situation to manage. However, appropriate and timely intervention can achieve encouraging results.
