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 />
