PURPOSE To report the outcome of scleral buckling using a non-contact wide-angle viewing system with a 25-gauge chandelier endoilluminator. METHODS Retrospective analyses of medical records were performed for 17 eyes of 16 patients with primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) without proliferative vitreoretinopathy who had undergone conventional scleral buckling with cryoretinopexy us...

Purpose To report two patients with giant retinal tear (GRT) associated retinal detachment in the setting of baseball trauma. Observations Two patients presented with retinal detachment associated with GRT following blunt trauma with a baseball. The first was a superotemporal GRT detachment treated with scleral buckling, pars plana vitrectomy, endolaser, and silicone oil injection. He subsequ...

PURPOSE To describe an alternative surgical technique for the management of retinal detachment with no or minimal proliferative vitreoretinopathy (grade B) using transconjunctival retinopexy with active external drainage of subretinal fluid. METHODS In a prospective, interventional study, eight consecutive patients with retinal detachment with no or minimal proliferative vitreoretinopathy (gr...

Encircling bands are a simple and efficient technique of scleral buckling, commonly used alone, in conjunction with segmental scleral buckles, and in conjunction with trans pars plana vitrectomy (TPPV) to treat rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) by closing retinal breaks and relieve vitreoretinal traction. Complications associated with encircling bands are relatively rare, but can include ...

The purpose of this study is to summarize the latest reports on management rhegmatogenous retinal detachment and suggest guidelines for choosing a surgical method in patients with detachment. Most detachments led full vision loss affected eye prior period scleral buckling (SB). Scleral was developed 1950s, allowing surgeons treat surgically. gave questionnaire 109 from 18 different countries li...

OBJECTIVE To study the outcome of conventional scleral buckling procedures performed for primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. METHODS This prospective study was conducted at Khyber Institute of Ophthalmic Medical Sciences, Hayatabad Medical Complex, Peshawar, Pakistan from 02-08-2008 to 29-04-2009. The outcome of fifty-six consecutive cases, operated in nine months duration, for primary...

Purpose: Our purpose is to determine the structural outcome of 25-gauge vitrectomy in addition to scleral buckling in stage 5 retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Methods: In a prospective interventional case series, 21 eyes with stage 5 ROP underwent 25-gauge vitrectomy and scleral buckling. Demographic data, disease activity (having plus disease or neovascularization) and the procedure manner we...
