title: [Treatment of retinal detachment with a giant rupture].
abstract: Results of surgical treatment in 29 cases of retinal detachment caused by giant tear have been reviewed. Two patients have been operated on by scleral buckling procedure, whereas in 27 cases vitreoretinal surgery in combination with silicone oil tamponade has been performed. Anatomic success was achieved in 20 of 29 eyes. After a follow-up period of 6 to 36 months 20 eyes (69%) had visual acuity equal to or better than 0.3. Silicone oil has been successfully evacuated out of 14 eyes with retina remaining attached.
