PURPOSE: To evaluate the role of prophylactic scleral buckling procedure with pars plana vitrectomy for the removal of @entity2790 ( @entity2790 ) in the prevention of postoperative @entity1713 . METHODS: In a prospective, clinical, controlled study, 28 @entity1 with @entity2790 without @entity1713 were randomly divided into two groups of 15 (group I) and 13 (group II) @entity1 . All @entity1 underwent a standard three-port pars plana vitrectomy with @entity5744 . In addition to this standard procedure, @entity1 assigned to group I had a 360 degrees encircling scleral buckle placed at the time of surgery. Group II @entity1 did not have any scleral buckling. All @entity1 were followed up for an average period of 11.8 months. Both groups were comparable with respect to age, sex, duration of injury, nature of injury, and site, size and type of @entity2790 . RESULTS: The @entity1713 rate was found to be 6.6% in group I and 30.8% in group II (P = 0.24). Prophylactic scleral buckling reduced the risk of @entity1713 by 24% but this was not found to be statistically significant. CONCLUSION: Prophylactic scleral buckle placement with pars plana vitreous surgery for @entity2790 may reduce the risk of late onset @entity1713 . A larger study would seem warranted.
