Methodology: A retrospective review of all RD surgeries performed by a single surgeon during 1 st year of post-fellowship training was analyzed. Anatomical success was defined as attached retina at end of follow-up. Pre-op vision, IOP, characteristics of RD, surgical time, and complications were analyzed.

Results: A total of 38 cases were included. The most causative lesion was an HST in the superotemporal quadrant. The average surgical time was 64.34±21.21 minutes.10 cases had intra-op complications and 19 cases had a post-op complications. Re-RD was seen in 3 cases out of which 2 underwent repeat procedures.
