PURPOSE:To search for the treatment of recurrent detachment of retina with severe proliferative vitreretinopathy(PVR) by vitreoretinal surgery.
METHODS:Fourty-seven cases of recurrent detachment of retina with severe PVR treated by vitrectomy between September 1987 and Noverber 1994 were systematically reviewed.
RESULTS:On discharge from the hospital,the retina was totally reattached in 30(63.8%)of the 47 cases,partially reattached in 9 cases (19.1%)and still detached in 8 cases(17.1%).
CONCLUSIONS:In addition to using the surgical procedures similar to the conventional vitreoretinal surgery,the histopathological change induced by the previous operation in sick eyes should be paid attention to.

Objective
To present stereoscopic image of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with three-dimentional reconstruction of sonography.
Methods
Ultrasound data were collected by Hpsonos 1500 and 7.0MHz transducter with the motor controlled by computer.Three-dimentional image were reconstructed with Tomtec echoscan.
Results
Three-dimentional image were successfully reconstructed in 14 eyes of 13 cases of retinal detachment include 3 eyes of 3 cases with opaque refractive medium showing stereosopic image of retina and some retinal tears.
Conclusion
Static three-dimentional reconstruction of sonography might enhance the ability to visulize spatial anatomic structure of retina and offer a new method to find retinal tears in patients with opague refractive medium.
