ocular (pneumatic retinopexy and primary vitrectomy). To succeed<br />
with any of these methods, the leaking break still has to be found<br />
and sealed. Therefore, finding and closing the retinal break in a<br />
rhegmatogenous retinal detachment will continue to be the primary<br />
purpose of any surgical effort.<br />
With any of the four presently applied surgical techniques, retinal<br />
attachment can result in 94–99% of primary rhegmatogenous<br />
retinal detachments, but with different degrees of morbidity. At<br />
this point in time, we must wait to see which of these four procedures<br />
or their extended modifications will prevail or whether a<br />
better and less morbid method for repair of retinal detachment<br />
will evolve.<br />
