Management of primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with inferior breaks

Table 2

 Success rates

Superior breaks group (controls) Inferior breaks group (patients) Overall data from 279 RRD cases
Primary success rates are similar in the superior and inferior breaks groups (p = 0.63).
The third column shows our overall performance for all primary RRDs at our unit (excluding PVR, giant tears, dialyses, and retinoschisis). The patients with inferior breaks represent a higher risk group when compared to our overall data.
Primary success rate 41/48 (85.4%) 39/48 (81.3%) 248/279 (88.9%)
Final success rate 46/48 (95.8%) 46/48 (95.8%) 272/279 (97.5%)
