[Treatment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment complicated by vitreous hemorrhage]. 1993

W J Wang
Eye and ENT Hospital, Shanghai Medical University.

8 cases of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment associated with vitreous hemorrhage were treated by first removing the blood through vitrectomy followed by routine retina reattachment procedures, such as searching for retinal breaks with indirect ophthalmoscopy and scleral buckling or encircling. Among 6 cases followed up, only 1 cases relapsed due to PVR traction. The points of note during operation were mentioned and the relationship between retinal breaks with vitreous hemorrhage and posterior vitreous detachment discussed.
