INCIDENCE OF RETINAL DETACHMENT AFTER SMALL-INCISION, SUTURELESS PARS PLANA VITRECTOMY COMPARED WITH CONVENTIONAL 20-GAUGE VITRECTOMY IN MACULAR HOLE AND EPIRETINAL MEMBRANE SURGERY

Abstract

The incidence of RD after macular surgery is not increased in small-gauge, sutureless vitrectomy compared with the standard 20-gauge procedure. In most cases, the RD is not caused by the surgical technique itself but caused by new retinal breaks.
