Abstract
Vitrectomy is often recommended to repair retinal detachment with giant retinal tear. However, episcleral surgery can be used if the giant tear is less than 180°, the proliferative vitreoretinopathy is not advanced, and the retina flap is not inverted. The scleral buckle must be associated with the vitrectomy in cases of inferior giant retinal tear even if the proliferative vitreoretinopathy is not advanced.
