| Abstract: |
| AIM: To determine whether a combined scleral buckle and pars plana vitrectomy, as a primary surgery, owns any advantage over a single scleral buckling in pseudophakic and aphakic retinal detachments. · METHODS: Thirty consecutive pseudophakic/aphakic retinal detachments were included in this retrospective study. Each patient underwent combined scleral buckle and pars plana vitrectomy, and was followed up for 3 to 14 months. Patients were examined with respect to anatomic reattachment, visual acuity improvement, and surgical complications. · RESULTS: All eyes were anatomically reattached after the first operation. All patients had an increase in their visual acuity, and there were no complications attributable to the vitrectomy procedure. · CONCLUSION: A combined surgery for primary pseudophakic/ aphakic retinal detachments offers significant benefits to scleral buckling alone. The improved success rate is contributing to the function of vitrectomy, which improves peripheral visibility and reduces the occurrence of proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR). |
