Abstract;We reviewed 24 eyes in 24 cases of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. These eyes failed to respond to conventional scleral buckling and necessitated additional vitreous surgery. In retrospect, 6 eyes(25%) ought to have received vitreous surgery as the first procedure. These eyes had either undetectable retinal tear, vitreous hemorrhage, bullous detachment with posteriorly located tear, or cataract with posterior vitreous detachment. Additional 9 eyes appeared to be indicated for vitreous surgery, including aphakia, pseudophakia, moderate cataract, giant retinal tear, and multiple tears located in different depths. A total of 15 eyes(63%) were thus judged as indications of primary vitreous surgery. (author abst.)
