Summary:Purpose To evaluate the characteristics and analyze the results of patients who underwent pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) as the first surgery due to rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) in pediatric age. Methods The records of pediatric patients who underwent PPV alone due to RRD were reviewed retrospectively. The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) values were recorded before and after the surgery. Complications during and after the operation, postoperative recurrences were followed-up. Results One hundred and six patients included in the study were followed-up for an average of 24.20 ± 11.38 months.
