Pars plana vitrectomy in aphakic and pseudophakic retinal detachment

Eighty-two consecutive aphakic or pseudophakic retinal detachments were treated by buckling and vitrectomy procedures. Functional results (86.6%) and the incidence of proliferative vitreoretinopathy (11%) were comparable with reports of cases treated by the classic method.Presented at the 1984 meeting of the Club Jules Gonin in Lausanne, Switzerland
