Retrospective evaluation of anatomical and functional outcomes in retinectomy patients, indicating effectiveness for retinal stabilization.

To evaluate the anatomical and functional outcomes of retinectomy in patients with retinal detachment due to proliferative vitreoretinopathy.
Retrospective review of medical records of patients undergoing retinectomy from 2015 to 2023.
Evaluation of visual acuity and intraocular pressure pre- and post-surgery.
Mean final visual acuity improved slightly but not significantly from 2.1 logMAR to 1.94 logMAR (p=0.094).
Visual acuity improved in 45.45% of patients, while 39.39% remained unchanged.
No significant differences in visual acuity, intraocular pressure, or recurrence rates based on detachment etiology (p>0.05).
