Preoperative findings and visual outcome associated with retinal reattachment surgery in dogs: 217 cases (275 eyes).

Objective: Report the correlation of pre-operative findings with visual outcome in dogs undergoing retinal reattachment surgery for giant retinal tears.

Procedures: Retrospective analysis of dogs that underwent pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with silicone oil (SiO) tamponade and endolaser retinopexy at one institution. Recorded parameters included signalment, etiology, and duration of retinal detachment, observable retinal tissue architecture, visual reflexes, lens status, presurgical aqueous flare, visual status postoperatively, and complications.
