Overview

We have analysed the surgery results of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RD)on 73 patients (76 eyes) operated on in 2000. Retinal reattachment was achievedon 59 eyes (77.6%) without silicone oil tamponade (SO) and on 17 eyes (22.4%) withthe use of permanent silicone oil tamponade.Visual acuity following the operationwas improved on 47 eyes (61.8%). Visual acuity 20/20-20/40 was reached on 16 eyes(21.1%), 20/60-20/120 on 35 eyes (46.0%), 20/200-4/200 on 19 eyes (25.0%), worse than4/200 on 6 eyes (7.9%).Based on contemporary surgical technique the most important criterion of anatomicaland functional success with the retinal detachment treatment is the timebetween RD onset and the time of the surgery, as well as the presence and extentof proliferative vitreoretinopathy.

Key words:
retinal detachment, silicone oil tamponade, proliferative vitreoretinopathy
