Retinal Detachment Fixed by 25 gauge vitrectomy. No scleral buckle is used in this case of a 35-40 year old male who detached. Fortunately, the macula was attached and he has complete restoration of vision.
Initially, the vitrectomy is performed to allow easier access to the retina. It is crucial to find the retinal tears or holes and treat them with either cryo (freezing) or laser. Air and/or gas prevents fluid from re-accumulating underneath the retina.
