Abstract |
A retrospective study of the effect of vitrectomy, scleral bucling and intraocular tamponade (SF6 gas or silicone oil) was carried out in 39 patients with retinal detachment complicated by proliferative vitreoretinopathy. Complete anatomic retinal reattachment posterior to the encircling scleral buckle was obtained in 53% (21/40) of these eyes. Useful vision was restored in 52% of the 21 anatomically successful cases. Anatomic success was not correlated with severity of proliferative vitreoretinopathy and lens status. The most frequent postoperative complication was cataract in phakic eyes and recurrent retinal detachment in aphakic eyes. |
