“…Previous studies have reported that a wide variety of risk factors are associated with the recurrence of RD after RRD repair, including proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) [12], inferior breaks [3], the duration of preoperative symptoms until surgery [13], lens status [14], vitreous hemorrhage [15], undetectable retinal tear [16], the extent of detachment [5], high myopia [17] and hypotonia [18], and the presence of multiple breaks [10]. Unlike these previous studies, our present study failed to identify significant differences between the groups of patients with recurrent and reattached RD with regards to age, gender, lens status, the number of breaks, detachment duration, the extent of the retinal detachment, high myopia, macula status, PVD, giant retinal tears, choroidal detachment, the use of perfluorocarbon liquid, retinectomy, and combined cataract surgery.…”
