Treatment breakdown for each study included:
9 patients underwent no vitreoretinal intervention: 4 primary enucleation, 3 secondary enucleation, 1 no treatment due to phthisis, and 1 was lost to follow-up.
This study also included another 14 patients who underwent vitrectomy for retinal pathology that was not an RD; these patients are not included above.
Unclear how many patients underwent vitrectomy alone versus vitrectomy + buckle.
