Purpose: To investigate real-world outcomes of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for eyes with primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachments (RRD) eligible for pneumatic retinopexy (PnR). Methods: This was a single center retrospective case series looking at consecutive patients with primary RRDs. A database was created on all patients with a primary RRD from 2010 to 2018 based on billing code 67108. Eyes anatomically eligible for PnR were reviewed for preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative characteristics. The main outcome assessed was single surgery anatomical success (SSAS), final anatomical success (FAS), and postoperative LogMAR vision. Results: A total of 720 eyes (age, 62.9 [+ or -] 9.1 years; 61.7% were male) met inclusion criteria for PnR and underwent PPV SSAS was 94.0% and FAS was 99.9%. Preoperative and final LogMAR vision was 0.853 and 0.293 (P Conclusion: A robust single surgery success rate with good visual outcomes was achieved across 8 years and multiple surgeons utilizing PPV to treat primary RRDs in eyes which anatomically qualified for pneumatic retinopexy in a real-world setting.

Introduction Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) remains one of the leading causes of vision loss world-wide. (1) The incidence of RRD has been reported to be 7.98-18.2 per 100,000 with higher [...]
