Methods: A total of 71 eyes of 71 patients with primary RRD possibly complicated with PVR were included; 36 eyes treated with scleral buckling and 35 eyes with pars-plana vitrectomy. Enzyme-Linked Immuno-sorbent Assay was employed for CXCL-1/IL-6 measurement (ng/ml). Results: Correlation analysis between mean CXCL-1/IL-6 ratio and clinical parameters revealed non-significant results. CXCL-1/IL-6 ratio was significantly elevated in phakic eye vitreous. Optimum circumstances for elevated chemokine levels during RRD were considerable extent (2-3-quadrant) and duration (29-60-day) complicated with PVR C. Conclusions: SRF appears to be characterized by greater chemokine concentrations while vitreous retains several structural characteristics that may assist in investigating inflammation and improving understanding of underlying pathophysiological mechanisms during RRD complicated with PVR. © 2019 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC." }
