“…However, retinopexy should be considered in eyes with extensive lattices and in nonphakic eyes with fellow-eye abnormality. 12,13 Argon laser retinopexy is a safe and effective technique for the treatment of symptomatic flap tears and other high-risk retinal breaks. However, this procedure is of limited use in large retinal breaks, opaque media, small and nonreactive pupils, and unsatisfactory tissue response.…”

Objective: To identify primary surgical success rates for retinal detachment repair in Alberta and compare functional outcomes of methods of repair. Methods: Data was retrospectively extracted from the Alberta Health Services Discharge Abstract Database and the National Ambulatory Care Reporting System for all patients diagnosed with retinal detachment and vitreoretinal procedures during the 2008/09 to 2012/13 fiscal years. Results: Of the 5,433 surgeries for retinal detachment identified, 279 were excluded due to invalid provincial health numbers, unidentified procedure location, and/or treating physician other than an Alberta retina surgeon. The final analysis included 4,336 detachments in 4,020 patients. The average primary retinal detachment success rate was 84.9% (3,680/4,336). Primary success rates varied between vitrectomy only (84.9%, 2,149/2,532), vitrectomy and scleral buckle (85.5%, 818/957), and scleral buckle (84.4%, 702/832). Conclusions: Alberta retina surgeons have an average primary success rate of 84.9% (3,680/4,336) for repair of retinal detachments. This result is in keeping with other published retinal detachment success rate studies.

“…The best evidence indicated that treatment of focal retinal detachments associated with symptomatic horseshoe tears was effective. There was "substantial" evidence that treatment of lattice degeneration in all myopic eyes was of no benefi t. In myopic eyes in which retinal detachment due to lattice had occurred in the fi rst eye, there was "substantial" evidence that treating the lattice lesions in the fellow eye was of limited value [ 22 ]. However, the same evidence base demonstrated that such treatment was of no value if the degree of myopia exceeded -6 D or if there were more than 6 clock hours of lattice degeneration.…”
