·AIM:To evaluate the effectiveness of prophylactic chorioretinectomy for traumatic retinal incarceration.·METHODS:Retrospective,consecutive interventional case series of 69 eyes with traumatic retinal incarceration were treated with a 20 gauge three-port pars plana vitrectomy.The operative technique included prophylactic chorioretinectomy,endophotocoagulation,intraocular tamponade and scleral buckling procedure.·RESULTS:Sixty-nine eyes of 69 patients were followed for median of 11±6(range from 4 to 27)months.The rate of retinal reattachment was 91%(63/69).The rate of proliferative vitreoretinopathy was 14%(10/69).Best-corrected visual acuity(BCVA)≥0.1 occurred in 31 patients(45%).Globe survival rate was 99%(68/69).·CONCLUSION:Prophylactic chorioretinectomy is a surgical option that may increase the rate of final retinal reattachment and decrease the rate of proliferative vitreoretinopathy for traumatic retinal incarceration.·
