PRIMARY PARS PLANA VITRECTOMY VERSUS SCLERAL BUCKLE SURGERY FOR THE TREATMENT OF PSEUDOPHAKIC RETINAL DETACHMENT

Abstract

Primary PPV offers potential advantages over SB surgery in the treatment of pseudophakic RD, including less operating time, accurate diagnosis of breaks, higher reattachment rate with a single surgery, and no postoperative axial length changes. Retinal reattachment rate with multiple surgeries and final visual acuity at 1 year were similar for SB surgery and PPV.
