Objective To evaluate the effect of vitreoretinal surgery with lens-sparing technique in treating the detachment with giant retinal tear(GRT) associated with proliferative vitreoretinopathy(PVR). Methods Thirty-one consecutive eyes with GRT unde rwent vitrectomy were analysed retrospectively. Operative techniques included peeling of pre-retinal membrane， injection of perfluorodecalin liquid， retinotomy and retinectomy，endolaser，and silicon oil or C2F6 gas tamponade. Lens-sparing vitrectomy was performed in 28 phakic eyes. Follow-up period ranged from 11 to 34 months. Results Anatomic retina l attachment was achieved intraoeratively in 29 eyes. In 16 eyes of 28 eyes with postoperative cataract formation,3 eyes underwent cataract surgery with or without intraocular lens implantation. The corrected final visual acuity ran ged from 0.4 to 0.01. Conclusion Most phakic eyes of retinal detachment with GRT PVR can be successfully operated on with an out come of improving the visual acuity by using techniques of lens-sparing vitrectomy, perfluorodecalin liquid and silcone oil tamponade.  (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis, 2001,17:93-95)
