Abstract The success of surgery for retinal detachment is dependent on attaining closure of retinal break(s) , relieving traction on the retina and minimizing the recurrence of traction. Proliferative vireoretinopathy(PVR) is the most common cause of failed repair of primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment and occurs when cellular proliferation creates traction on the retina , usually leading to recurrent rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. PVR has a propensity to occur in the inferior retina.Of the existing tamponade agents , those available for long term tamponade (gas and silicone oil) do not provide good support to the inferior retina . |
