Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Retinal Surgery
Vitreoretinal Diseases

Background:

Vitrectomy surgery has advanced significantly.
Complex vitreoretinal diseases remain challenging to treat effectively.
Current understanding of some conditions is limited, necessitating further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

To review current understandings of complicated vitreoretinal diseases.
To highlight areas lacking full comprehension, including PVR and RRD management.
To discuss ongoing debates regarding optimal treatment strategies.

Main Methods:

Literature review of recent advancements in vitreoretinal surgery.
Discussion of unresolved issues in managing complex cases.
Synthesis of current knowledge on specific vitreoretinal conditions.

Main Results:

Despite surgical progress, outcomes for some complex vitreoretinal diseases are suboptimal.
Key areas of limited understanding include proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) molecular basis and scleral buckling (SB) role in rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD).
Optimal surgical considerations for pediatric retinal detachment (RD) and management of retinal degenerations require further study.

Conclusions:

Continued research is crucial for improving treatment of complicated vitreoretinal diseases.
Addressing knowledge gaps in PVR, RRD, pediatric RD, and retinal anomalies is essential.
Further investigation will refine surgical techniques and patient outcomes.
