title: Pars plana vitrectomy in aphakic retinal detachments.
abstract: Thirty-three cases of aphakic retinal detachment have been treated by pars plana vitrectomy and retinopexy. This procedure allowed us to lower the incidence of postoperative massive periretinal proliferation from 15,4%, in a series that was performed by a classical method, to 6% in the pars plana treated group.
