Study Summary

Management of primary retinal detachment due to upper retinal break is one of controversial situation that may face ophthalmologists in vitreoretinal subspecialty.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with upper break with proliferativevitreoretinopathy from grade a to b.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • cases with combined tractional retinal detachment.
  • cases with recurrent retinal detachment.
  • cases that are eligible for scleral buckling that have no traction on retinal break.

Total Participants: 40
Study Start date:
September 26, 2022
Estimated Completion Date:

Study Description

There is no single surgical plan for management of primary retinal detachment due to upper retinal break, some surgeons prefer scleral buckling over vitrectomy in cases with no traction over the retinal break, others prefer to perform primary pars-plana vitrectomy with either air or gas tamponade.

In this study we aim to compare the results of air and non-expansile gas tamponade in cases with upper retinal detachment with grade a or b proliferative vitreoretinopathy.
