Comparison of Persistent Submacular Fluid in Vitrectomy and Scleral Buckle Surgery for Macula-Involving Retinal Detachment

Purpose Rupture of the sclera occurring during retinal detachment surgery is generally associated with unfavourable anatomic and visual outcomes. Re-operation after a failed scleral buckle procedure and pre-existing scleral thinning are considered the main risk factors for scleral rupture. Case Report We describe the management and the favourable outcome of a case of scleral rupture in a 71-year-old woman during re-operation for retinal detachment. Conclusions We managed this case of scleral rupture in accordance with current indications concerning the anatomical recovery, by scleral suture and patch graft, restoring IOP by gas tamponade. The positive outcome was partly related to the prompt closure of the retinal hole which led to reattachment, and partly to favourable events such as the moderate intensity of vitreous hemorrhage and the lack of any more serious intraoperative and postoperative complications.

Primary Vitrectomy

Supplemental scleral buckling techniques in vitrectomy for the repair of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment to achieve higher reattachment rates are not widely used but may be useful especially in complicated cases. In this article, the positive and negative aspects of adding scleral buckle to primary vitrectomy will be examined by looking at relevant studies.

Vitrectomy Surgery

Despite improvements in vitreoretinal surgery techniques, rhegmatogenous retinal detachment is still one of the major causes of visual loss in the world. Pneumatic retinopexy (PR), scleral buckle, and pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) are the modalities that are used in the treatment of retinal detachment. Intraocular gases, which are frequently used in PR and PPV, are indispensable molecules due to their tamponade effects. In order to get favorable postoperative outcomes, the proper type of gas selection should be made by considering the properties of the gases, indications, potential complications, and findings of the patients together.
