Episode Synopsis

How do outcomes differ for RRD patients at risk of PVR following PPV alone or combined PPV/scleral buckling? Moderator David Xu, MD, hears from panelists Barton Blackorby, MD, and Prethy Rao, MD, MPH, about a recent peer-reviewed paper published in Ophthalmology Retina covering surgical outcomes of patients with RRD who were considered high risk for PVR and underwent either PPV alone or PPV/scleral buckling. After the break, the doctors discuss the specific mechanics of a PPV/scleral buckle that may lead to successful surgery and ask whether this paper helps us better understand risk factors for PVR.
