“…Most studies have reported comparable anatomical and visual outcomes in patients with uncomplicated RRD treated by vitrectomy or scleral buckling. [1][2][3][4][5] In patients with complex RRD, however, pars plan vitrectomy with or without scleral buckling surgery has been associated with significantly higher success rate compared with scleral buckling alone. 6 Proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) is a wound healing process characterized by migration and proliferation of resident ocular cells including retinal pigment epithelial cells and invading immune cells leading to formation of adherent membranes over and under the retina.…”

“…This technique is still preferred by many surgeons, whereas others prefer to treat uncomplicated cases with primary pars plana vitrectomy, especially in pseudophakic or aphakic eyes. 1 After scleral-buckling procedure, visual recovery is related to the pre-operative and post-operative macular condition. A poor functional outcome is common because of post-operative complications, such as persistent subfoveal fluid, even in a pre-operatively uninvolved macula, 2 epiretinal membranes, and cystoid macular oedema.…”

“…Significant variation in reported primary RD failure exists. [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] This range may be due to variations in patient selection including surgical complexity, the definition of primary RD failure, the timeframe for reporting failure, and the inclusion or exclusion of cases with silicone oil in situ. A recent nationwide database study from Denmark found a 22% re-operation rate after RD surgery, using a large subset of 6,522 eyes of which 29.5% received silicone oil injection.…”

“…The Royal College of Ophthalmologists has recommended primary RD success rate as one of the benchmark indicators for fitness to practise vitreoretinal surgery, although to date no acceptable boundaries for case mix adjusted RD success rates have been defined. 9 Several studies have documented the success rate of primary RD surgery [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] but few have analysed inter-surgeon variation and those that did included only experienced surgeons 16 or a few centres reporting only one technique: PPV. [17][18][19] The UK National Health Service (NHS) provides an ideal environment for "real-world" studies of vitreoretinal surgery outcomes.…”
