Vitreous involvement as a result of penetrating trauma complicates and worsens the prognosis in retinal detachment repair. Seven patients in whom poor visualization of the fundus seemed to preclude success by routine procedures underwent combined vitrectomy, scleral buckling, release of subretinal fluid, and intravitreal gas injection. The retina was successfully reattached in five of the seven patients, although postoperative visual acuity was limited ‐ possible on account of the duration of retinal detachment prior to repair or because of the degree of macular involvement.
