Abstract:
We reviewed 71 cases of recurred retinal detachment after trans pars plana vitrectomy managed with fluid gas exchange with sulfur hexafluoride gas between January 1984 and April 1986 in order to identify the anatomic and functional success rate. The causes of vitrectomy were as follows: retinal detachment with peripheral retinal breaks(29 eyes) or giant dialysis(10 eyes) complicated by proliferative vitreoretinopathy, retinal detachment with no breaks(16 eyes), traction retinal detachments(6 eyes), and others(3 eyes). The anatomic and functional success rate was affected by the grade of proliferative vitreoretinopathy. In 71 cases performed fluid gas exchange with sulfur hexafluoride gas, anatomic success rate was 38%(27/71) and functional sucess rate was 22.5%(16/71).
