Retinal Detachment with Giant Tear

Full thickness neurosensoryretinal tears of more than 90 degreescircumferentially are defined as giant retinal tears and constitutevery few of rhegmatogeneousretinal detachments. Management is difficult as there are highly observed intra- and postoperative complications and it technically hosts many difficulties. Primary vitrectomy with either gas or silicone oil tamponade which can be combined with scleral buckling and phacoemulsification, scleral buckling areused in the treatment. Todayanatomical success rate is increased as a result of the use of perfluorocarbon liquids and micro-incisional vitrectomy techniques and with the experience of surgeons. Although functional results are variable, preoperative and development ofpostoperative proliferative vitreoretinopathy affects the results.
