Primary Versus Secondary Internal Limiting Membrane Peeling in Uncomplicated Retinal Detachment

What this Trial Is About

This trial studies patients with uncomplicated rhegmatogenous retinal detachment to compare two different timings of internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling during eye surgery. The research aims to understand whether peeling the ILM during the first surgery or delaying it until the time of silicon oil removal affects outcomes. The study is randomized and triple-masked, led by Sohag University. Participants will receive 23-gauge pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with silicon oil tamponade. They will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: Group A will have ILM peeling performed during the initial surgery, while Group B will have ILM peeling delayed until the silicon oil is removed. Both groups receive the same PPV and silicon oil treatment. During the study, patients will be followed from enrollment until three months after surgery to monitor for complications. The main outcome measured is the incidence of complications within this period. Participants will undergo regular postoperative evaluations to assess safety and treatment effects throughout the follow-up time. Total participation duration covers from surgery through three months post-operation.
