Abstract

We reviewed charts of patients on the clinical characteristics and factors which affect the prognosis of surgical results in the 77 patients(77 eyes) who were diagnosed with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment and operated on and followed for at least 3 months postoperatively at Korea University Guro hospital. We evaluated the characteristics of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in Korea by comparing with other reports on retinal detachment as well. The factors associated with anatomic success were the duration of retinal detachment and the prescence of proliferative vitreoretinopathy. High success rate was achieved when the duration was less than 1 month and there was no proliferative vitreoretinopathy. The factors associated with functional success included the duration of retinal detachment, proliferative vitreoretinopathy, preoperative refractive error and the degree of retinal detachment(P<0.05).
