title: [Reasons for failure after episcleral buckling operation of the retina].
abstract: In this retrospective study about failures of epiretinal buckling procedures performed over 12 years the causes of failure are analysed. The main ones are: new retinal holes, PVR, wrong localization, and inadequate buckling effect. The aim of this investigation was to find indications of the best technique, with a view to improving the success rate, currently, 80-90%, even further.
