  1. 219 tire: 4.8 mm wide silicon tire with a different length according to the break/degeneration area, 240 encircling: 2.5 mm wide silicon band in about 70 mm long overlying the 219 tire, SRF:subretinal fluid, IOL: intraocular lens
  2. *: Cryopexy was applied on suspicious break area in these 5 eyes
  3. &: 360 degree 240 buckling were not applied in case 5 and 9 because retinal tear was clear in these 2 cases and PVR was limited to peripheral RD area and the the retinal detachment was fresh. Partial 219 tire was enough to support the retinal breaks and relieve traction, so encircling 240 band were not necessary. The other 12 eyes were given encircling 240 band about 70 mm long overlying the 219 tire which had a different length according to the break/degeneration area
  4. $: The previously implanted IOL was subluxated and we carried out transscleral fixation of the same IOL
  5. §: A suspicious break was found at 1 o’clock, we did cryopexy.But it did not seem to be clear during cryopexy
  6. #: We carried out posterior scleral reinforcement before scleral buckling because of pathological degenerative changes in the retina including posterior staphyloma, sclera thinning, retinochoroidal atrophy and macular retinoschisis
