✦ Synopsis

We operated on one hundred cases of pseudophakic retinal detachments with a reattachment rate of ninety-eight percent. Fifteen of the one hundred required more than one operation and all reoperations were associated with vitrectomy.

Thirty-seven percent of all cases achieved good vision of 20/40 or better while seventy-eight percent achieved useful vision 20/120 or better. Scleral buckling should be used as a primary procedure when there is a good visualization of the peripheral fundus, clear vitreous, and absence of PVR.

Vitrectomy as a primary procedure combined with a scleral buckle should be considered when PVR is present with pigment changes in the vitreous with fixed folds in two or more quadrants (C-2) or any form of PVR Grade D1-3.

In retinal detachments the scotopic ERG is generally more disturbed than the photopic ERG; both are more disturbed than would be expected from the visibly detached retina. The disturbance is characterized by a reduction of both the a-wave and the bwave. Furthermore, the photopic responses are clearl

Thirty-three cases of aphakic retinal detachment have been treated by pars plana vitrectomy and retinopexy. This procedure allowed us to lower the incidence of postoperative massive periretinal proliferation from 15,4%, in a series that was performed by a classical method, to 6% in the pars plana tr
