title: [Micro-vitreoretinal surgery for failed common retinal detachment repair].
abstract: In this paper we analyzed 49 cases (49 eyes) of micro-vitreoretinal surgery for failed common retinal detachment repair. Reattachment was achieved in 37 cases (75.51%) and final visual acuity of 10/200 or better was attained in 32 cases (65.31%). It was suggested that common operation failure in these patients was due to PVR. Cryopexy, diathermy and repeat operation can render the formation of the PVR. Micro-vitreoretinal surgery should be performed on these patients. There was a linear relationship between the effectiveness and the degree of PVR. It is best to perform the surgery 3 months after common operation. Finally, the authors discuss the reasons for failure of vitreoretinal surgery and conclude that the anterior PVR and the invalid fixing are the main reasons for failure of vitreoretinal surgery.
