Abstract
- Scleral buckling used alone to treat retinal detachment with proliferative vitreoretinopathy(PVR) of grade C resulted in an overall anatomic reattachment rate of 86%(39/45); 96%(27/28) in stage C1, 83%(10/12) in stage C2, and 40%(2/5) in stage C3. The success rate declined with increasing severity of PVR. Stage C3 eyes showed a significantly lower rate of retinal reattachment than stage C1 and C2 eyes(p<.05). We currently recommend scleral buckling alone as the surgery of choice for stage C1 and C2 PVR; we reserve vitrectomy with preretinal membrane removal for the more advanced cases.
