Scientific title
The learning curve for primary vitrectomy without scleral buckling for pseudophakic retinal detachment
Acronym
Study hypothesis
Pseudophakic retinal detachment is a complication in patients after cataract surgery. Although rare, this represents a high number of patients since the number of cataract extractions is on the rise (500,000 in France). This complication may lead to a severe loss of visual acuity.
In this study we aim to evaluate the learning curve of junior surgeons in performing primary vitrectomy without scleral buckling for pseudophakic retinal detachment.
