Pneumatic retinopexy introduced in the mid 1980s allowed treatment of retinal detachments as an outpatient procedure in selected retinal detachments 3 Above techniques either alone or in combination has resulted in surgical success rates close to 90%. For most surgeons, choice of surgical procedure for primary retinal detachment will depend on the individual clinical situation combined with each surgeon's experience; bias and comfort level with a particular procedure.
