Evaluation of the treatment results in patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment treated by pars plana vitrectomy with air: Preliminary results.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment and the restoration of the anatomic conditions (retinal reattachment) in rhegmatogenous retinal detachment treated by pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) using air as endotamponade.

Methods

Twelve patients (12 eyes) with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment were included in the study. These were eyes with retinal detachment both with and without macular involvement. During the PPV surgery, the peripheral and central part of the vitreous body was excised to eliminate the formation of vitreoretinal traction after surgery, laser therapy was performed peripherally and in retinal openings, and the eyeball was filled with filtered air.
