Article Synopsis
- A study evaluated the effectiveness of 25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with air tamponade for treating primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) in 27 patients over a period of about 4 years.
- The procedure achieved a 100% anatomical success rate, significantly improving patients' visual acuity from an average of 1.62 logMAR preoperatively to 0.89 logMAR postoperatively.
- The study noted minimal complications, with one case of retinal redetachment and some transient elevated intraocular pressures, but overall confirmed that the surgery is a safe and effective option for patients with RRD.
