The terminology "vitreous cortex remnants" (VCR) indicates the outermost lamellae of vitreous cortex that remains attached to the retinal surface as a consequence of vitreoschisis. The relevance of VCR removal in eyes with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) is unknown. We conducted a review from January 1, 2000, to July 30, 2023, examining 1493 eyes.

- The study aimed to assess how removing vitreous cortex remnants (VCRs) affects the normal structure of the retina in eyes with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD), specifically after pars plana vitrectomy (PPV).
- Researchers performed a prospective cohort study with 103 patients, evaluating retinal anatomy using blue fundus autofluorescence and spectral-domain OCT before and after the procedure.
- Key findings included a significant association between the use of gas tamponade and retinal displacement, while the removal of macular VCRs influenced outer retinal folds but not the continuity of important retinal structures after six months.
