[Vitrectomy combined with scleral buckling for the treatment of complicated retinal detachment].
OBJECTIVE
To raise operative successful rate of complicated retinal detachment, we used the methods of vitrectomy combined with scleral buckling for the treatment of complicated retinal detachment.


METHODS
The operative methods included: scleral buckling, vitrectomy, membrane peeling, intraocular and extraocular drainage, gas and silicone oil tamponade.


RESULTS
Being followed up for 1-16 months, 22 eyes got anatomic reattachment in 29 eyes, the operative successful rate was 75.8%; 15 eyes were injected with silicone oil intraocular tamponade, with 12 eyes getting reattachment. The successful rate was 80%.


CONCLUSIONS
Since the vitreous surgery is used, it is possible for the treatment of complicated retinal detachment, the operative successful rate can be raised. The technique of membrane peeling and intraocular tamponade was very important. Silicone oil has been accepted by more and more ophthalologists in the world, which acts as an effective material of intraocular tamponade.
