Autologous Plasmin-assisted Vitrectomy for Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment - Autologous Plasmin for RRD

The extent of PVD was larger in the AP group than the control group (p=0.025) and vitreal separation was facilitated by intravitreal AP injection (p=0.034). However, easiness of PVD induction (p=0.744) and frequency of iatrogenic retinal break found in the two groups (1 eye in the AP group, 2 eyes in the control group, p= 0.530) showed no significant difference. No postoperative intraocular hemorrhage nor systemic coagulation abnormality occurred. Postoperative endophthalmitis and positive microbial culture of AP solution were not reported either. There was no significant difference in change of visual acuity and the rate of retinal reattachment between the two groups.
