Appearance of the fundus 7 months after vitrectomy, membrane peeling, supplemental laser photocoagulation, and silicone oil injection because of an iatrogenic retinal break at the time of surgery. The visual acuity is 20/50. Not all of the fibrous plaques were removed at the time of surgery. It was judged that more aggressive peeling, sectioning, and attempts at removal would cause more iatrogenic retinal breaks. This is a common intraoperative judgment that must be made
