Summary Title: Tips and tricks to manage complications in retinal detachment surgery Introduction Retinal detachment surgery can remain a tricky surgery that associates with different kind of complications. It is interesting to observe that our success rate did not increase so much in the literature since the 1940's, remaining between 80 and 90% as a whole. Methods We will therefore try to understand why complications arises in retinal detachment to figure out how to reduce it and thus increase our success rate. Since glaucomatous problems are a relevant complication of retinal detachment treated by silicon oil, we will identify how to reduce intra‐ocular pressure problems related to silicon oil use. In the same way, with the advent of heavy liquids like PFCL to stabilize the retina during surgery, we will try to understand how to work properly with PFCL or fix related complications. In a final step, we will examine the causes of macular pucker and recurrences of retinal detachment to enhance our success rate through different methods. Conclusion This session will be organized around theories commonly accepted in the literature and multiple videos to demonstrate tips and tricks to manage complications in retinal detachment surgery.
