PURPOSE: To investigate anatomic success after surgery for chronic retinal detachment. DESIGN: Retrospective, case series review. METHODS: The surgical outcomes of reattachment surgery for 36 eyes of 35 patients with chronic retinal detachments are reported and are compared with the outcomes for 129 fresh retinal detachments. RESULTS: After exclusion of retinal detachments secondary to retinal dialysis and of cases with proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR), success after a single procedure was seen in eight of 14 (57.1%) chronic retinal detachments, and this compares with 92 of 107 (86.0%) fresh retinal detachments (P = .0161). CONCLUSIONS: Chronicity of retinal detachment at presentation is an important and poor prognostic indicator for reattachment surgery.
