retinal detachment is a very serious problem it's treatment ,though possible but results are uncertain eve in best hands. you will agree with the proverb 'precaution is better than cure '.and for a sight threatening problem it's more judicious. the decision of performing it in one sitting or multiple sittings depends upon the are involved and that decision has to be taken by the person (doctor)who is performing it .I think I m clear
