A giant retinal tear (GRT) is a full-thickness neurosensory retinal break extending for 90° or more in the presence of a posterior vitreous detachment.
- Pars plana vitrectomy versus scleral buckling for repairing simple rhegmatogenous retinal detachments
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Mar-2019
Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) is a separation of neurosensory retina from the underlying retinal pigment epithelium. It is caused by retinal tears, which let fluid pass from the vitreous cavity to the subretinal space. Pars plana vitrectomy (PPV
- Partial breast irradiation versus whole breast radiotherapy for early breast cancer
