BACKGROUND Combined retinal and choroidal detachment (RD-CD) poses significant challenges in ophthalmic treatment, often requiring surgical intervention for optimal outcomes. The selection of the appropriate surgical procedure is crucial for ensuring visual restoration and overall eye health. This study delves into the therapeutic benefits and outcomes of two distinct surgical approaches for RD-CD: pneumatic retinopexy (PR) followed by pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and PPV alone, in an attempt to guide optimal clinical decision-making. MATERIAL AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed data from 64 consecutive patients diagnosed with RD-CD. They were categorized into two groups: Group A consisted of 34 patients (34 eyes) who underwent PR as an initial treatment and subsequently received PPV, while Group B, serving as a control, comprised 30 patients (30 eyes) treated solely with PPV. RESULTS The application of PR in Group A notably accelerated intraocular pressure (IOP) increase (P.
