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.


Retinal detachment is one of the most important causes of visual loss. Scleral buckling, pneumatic retinopexy, or primary vitrectomy techniques are the state of art treatment approaches for retinal detachment. Novel improvements in instruments and techniques of vitreoretinal surgery have led primary vitrectomy to be more preferable for retinal detachment surgery. Performing primary vitrectomy in selected patients, considering the advantages and disadvantages has a significant impact in terms of prognosis.
