title: [Remote results of surgical treatment rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in children].
abstract: The results of surgical treatment of 53 children (55 eyes) with rhegmatogenous detachment of the retina complicated with proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) are assessed. The patients were followed up for 10 months to 6 years. Complete adhesion of the retina after surgery was attained in 85.5% and improvement of vision acuity in 89.4% of patients. Postoperative complications occurred in 25.5%, but in only 10.9% of children they eventuated in an unfavorable outcome of surgery or a relapse of retinal detachment. The disease recurred in 19% of children in the course of follow-up. The efficacy of surgical treatment of detachment of the retina depends on the origin of the disease and severity of preoperative PVR.
