Abstract

Proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) is considered the major cause of recurrent failure after retinal detachment surgery for nondiabetic rhegmatogenous retinal detachments.1 The surgical management of PVR ranges from scleral buckling alone for detachments with mild involvement to vitrectomy in combination with scleral buckling and membrane peeling for cases with more extensive and severe involvement. To identify factors that may improve the treatment of PVR we reviewed our surgical experience with PVR and identified two cases in which we believe the pars plana hole at the inferotemporal sclerotomy and the residual inferior PVR resulted in the redetachment.
