Abstract
Between 1975 and 1989, 11 eyes were treated for retinal detachments with both peripheral and full thickness macular breaks. Long term retinal reattachment was dependent on successful closure of peripheral retinal breaks. Direct treatment of the macular break was necessary in only one case, which redetached 3 months after vitrectomy. Vitrectomy is not the initial treatment of choice for uncomplicated retinal detachments with both peripheral and full thickness macular breaks, unless required for the closure of the peripheral retinal breaks.
