Outcomes of Vitrectomy with Inferior Retinectomy in Patients with Recurrent Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachments and Proliferative Vitreoretinopathy

When combined with anterior base dissection, inferior retinectomy may be useful in the surgical treatment of complex PVR-related retinal detachment. The authors show that with lensectomy, radical anterior base dissection, and inferior retinectomy, anatomic success rates are improved and visual function can be maintained. In addition, silicone oil offers an advantage over gas tamponade in these cases.
