BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: To investigate outcomes of contemporary surgical techniques for repair of rhegmatogenous retinal detachments (RRD) associated with giant retinal tears (GRT) PATIENTS AND METHODS: Retrospective, consecutive case series including 58 eyes of 58 patients. Mean age was 52 years (range: 16 to 83 years). All patients underwent 23-gauge pars plana vitrectomy with use of perfluorocarbon liquid and intravitreal tamponade (28 with silicone oil, 25 with octafluoropropane gas, and five with sulfur hexafluoride gas). Scleral buckle (SB) was placed in 30 eyes (52%) RESULTS: At a mean follow-up of 17 months, mean visual acuity improved from 20/500 preoperatively to 20/88 at final follow-up. Fifty-one patients (88%) had single-surgery anatomic success, and all patients achieved final retinal reattachment. Use of SB (P = 1.0), silicone oil (P = .1), or 360° endophotocoagulation (P = .7) did not correlate with higher rates of successful repair CONCLUSION: Contemporary vitreoretinal surgery techniques achieve high rates of primary anatomic success in GRT-related RRDs |
