Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment: contribution of Sankara Nethralaya to literature
نویسندگان
چکیده
The management of acute retinal detachment has improved over the past two decades with patients experiencing better outcomes from surgical intervention for this potentially blinding ophthalmic emergency. The vitreoretinal (VR) team at Sankara Nethralaya, for last nearly four decades, has been involved in managing these challenging clinical situations. Owing to the large patient dataset, over the years, the group has published many peer-reviewed articles in scientific journals.

متن کاملShifting subretinal fluid in rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.
In a consecutive series of 470 cases of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment 25 (5%) were found to have shifting subretinal fluid (SRF) at the preoperative examination. The study showed that the association between SRF and rhegmatogenous retinal detachment is unusual but not rare. Shifting SRF was most often associated with aphakic and longstanding retinal detachment, and found in cases in which t...
