Not including four cases of post-operative retinal tears were treated with laser retinopexy.

Not including three cases of post-operative retinal tear, treated with laser retinopexy.

The figures on surgery and RRD numbers of Tsai et al were not included in the totals, as it was unclear how many undergoing each type of surgery had RRD. In this study two eyes developed RRD postoperatively
