  • Title: Late recurrences after successful surgery for retinal detachment with macular hole.
    Author: Bonnet M, Semiglia R.
    Journal: Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol; 1993 Jun; 231(6):347-50. PubMed ID: 8339951.
    Abstract:
    Six myopic eyes affected by retinal detachment with macular hole which had been successfully reattached developed recurrent retinal detachment 7-78 months postoperatively. The mean interval between surgery and the recurrent retinal detachment was 13.4 months in five eyes managed with gas tamponade and no choroidal irritation. In an eye managed by scleral buckling with choroidal irritation, the recurrent retinal detachment occurred 78 months postoperatively. The retina was reattached following reoperation in all eyes. However, an eye successfully reattached without choroidal irritation developed four recurrences during the follow-up period. The pathogenesis of late recurrences after successful surgery for retinal detachment with macular hole remains speculative. A number of clinical findings suggest that vitreous traction plays a decisive role.
