Reattachment rate with pneumatic retinopexy versus pars plana vitrectomy for single break rhegmatogenous retinal detachment
PnR and PPV provide similar long-term PARR in a substantial proportion of patients meeting PIVOT criteria with only a single break in the detached retina. Therefore, in patients meeting these specific criteria, PnR is an appropriate first-line therapy as it offers superior functional outcomes without compromising PARR.
