[Surgical treatment of traumatic retinal detachment with incarceration].
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the method and effect of vitreoretinal surgery for the traumatic retinal detachment with retinal incarceration.


METHODS
13 eyes of traumatic retinal detachment with incarceration were treated by vitrectomy, membrane peeling, relaxed retinotomy, endophotocoagulation, intraocular tamponade, and in some cases scleral buckling procedure.


RESULTS
The retinae were attached in all the cases after operation. During the follow-up period of three months to three years, ten eyes kept the retina attached and three cases suffered from recurrent retinal detachment. One of them had had a second surgical procedure and obtained retinal re-attachment. The anatomic result was 11/13. The visual acuities were improved in all the patients.


CONCLUSIONS
Traumatic retinal detachment with incarceration is often accompanied with severe proliferative vitreoretinopathy. Combination of vitreoretinal surgery is an effective method for the lesion. Relaxed retinotomy for the incarceration is the key procedure to obtain the operative success.
