“…The most serious complication following retinal detachment surgery is PVR, which has been reported to occur in 8-20% of the cases undergoing vitrectomy and in 5-10% of the cases undergoing scleral buckling 2,[17][18][19][20][21][22][23] ; the reported difference is not remarkable (Table 3). In the present study, PVR was confirmed in none of the scleral buckling eyes but was detected in 3 (3.8%) of vitrectomy eyes.…”

“…A survey of published series through the 1990s to date suggests, however, that the frequency of the condition remains largely unchanged in primary retinal detachment, with incidences ranging from 5.1-11.7%. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8] These series reflect the changing case mix seen in primary retinal detachment surgery, for example increasing numbers of pseudophakic retinal detachments 2,4 and also the evolution of surgical techniques including primary vitrectomy. 6 Overall these data suggest that there remains a significant incidence of PVR following primary retinal detachment.…”
