Purpose: Complicated retinal re-detachment with inferior proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) remains a challenge. This study's aim was to compare vitrectomy with conventional silicon oil (CSO) combined with an encircling band (EB) and vitrectomy with heavy silicon oil (HSO) alone to treat retinal re-detachment through inferior PVR, where standard procedures have already failed.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was done on patients with inferior complex re-detachment with secondary PVR after primary surgery, who received pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with CSO combined with EB (group 1) or PPV alone with HSO (group 2) between December 2006 and August 2017. The primary endpoint was retinal reattachment, and the secondary endpoint was visual acuity (VA) change and complications in both groups.
Results: This study included 119 eyes. Total single surgery anatomical success (SSAS) was 64%, with 80% (52/65) achieved in group 1 and 44.5% (24/54) in group 2 (p < 0.0001). The total final anatomical success (FAS) rate was 79% (94/119). In group 1, FAS was 91% (59/65) compared with 65% (35/54) in group 2 (p = 0.003). The pretreatment VA of group 1 had a median of 1.4 logMAR (95% CI 0.3-1.8), and group 2 showed a median of 1.4 logMAR (95% CI 0.2-1.8). The post-treatment decrease in group 1 was a median equal to - 0.6 versus - 0.1 for group 2 (p = 0.0001). Serious complications were similar in both groups.
Conclusion: For complicated retinal re-detachment through inferior PVR, the combination of PPV with EB may lead to better anatomical (SSAS, FAS) and functional success compared with PPV alone with HSO.

In this randomized controlled trial, we assessed the effects of three consecutive intra-silicone oil (SO) injections of methotrexate (MTX) on the outcomes of surgery for proliferative vitreoretinopathy grade C (PVR-C). Seventy-four eyes of 74 patients with PVR-C were included. Of these, 37 eyes were assigned to the MTX group and 37 eyes to the control group.

Objective: To assess clinical factors leading to recurrent retinal detachment (RD) and characteristics of recurrence in patients with Stickler Syndrome.
Methods: Retrospective case series study of patients with clinical diagnosis of Stickler Syndrome who underwent rhegmatogenous RD repair. Recurrent RD after initial surgery was categorized as "early" if the recurrence was within 1 year or "late" if greater than 1 year.
