ABSTRACT : Forty-five
patients with retinal detachment without breaks were analyzed. All cases
were treated by encircling scleral buckling combined with pars plana vitrectomy
and gas injection. Eighteen cases were phakic detachment, eleven cases were
aphakic detachment and sixteen cases were pseudophakic detachment. Statistic
analyses showed that there was statistically significant difference in anatomical
reattachment and repoerated requirement between phakic and aphakic or pseudophakic
group. The surgical outcomes of these three groups showed that the phakic
group had the best result. The limitation in visualization and surgical
approach made the unsatisfactory results in aphakic or pseudophakic group.
Key words : Retinal
