Abstract
In 519 eyes that underwent small-gauge vitrectomy for primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, drainage retinotomy was significantly associated with surgical failure in a propensity matching score. Postoperative epiretinal membrane was also associated with drainage retinotomy. Avoidance of drainage retinotomy may lead to better surgical success and less frequent epiretinal membrane formation.
