title: [Combined surgery for complicated retinal detachment].
abstract: During 1986-1989, the authors treated 23 cases of complicated retinal detachment with vitrectomy in combination with reattachment surgery and intraocular injection of C3F8 gas. The PVR gradings were C1, 3 cases; C2, 7 cases; C3, 8 cases; D1, 4 cases; and D2, 1 case. Retinal breaks occurred in 16 cases, in whom the rate of surgical success was 65.2%. The visual acuity improved in 66.6% of the cases after operation. The advantages, the actual procedures and the causes of failure of the combined surgery were discussed.
