Purpose: There are primarily two techniques for affixing the scleral buckle (SB) to the sclera in the repair of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD): scleral tunnels or scleral sutures. Methods: This retrospective study examined all patients with primary RRD who were treated with primary SB or SB combined with vitrectomy from January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015 across six sites. Two cohorts were examined: SB affixed using scleral sutures versus scleral tunnels. Pre- and postoperative variables were evaluated including visual acuity, anatomic success, and postoperative strabismus. Results: The mean preoperative logMAR VA for the belt loop cohort was 1.05 ± 1.06 (Snellen 20/224) and for the scleral suture cohort was 1.03 ± 1.04 (Snellen 20/214, p = 0.846). The respective mean postoperative logMAR VAs were 0.45 ± 0.55 (Snellen 20/56) and 0.46 ± 0.59 (Snellen 20/58, p = 0.574). The single surgery success rate for the tunnel cohort was 87.3% versus 88.6% for the suture cohort (p = 0.601). Three patients (1.0%) in the scleral tunnel cohort developed postoperative strabismus, but only one patient (0.1%) in the suture cohort (p = 0.04, multivariate p = 0.76). All cases of strabismus occurred in eyes that underwent SB combined with PPV (p = 0.02). There were no differences in vision, anatomic success, or strabismus between scleral tunnels versus scleral sutures in eyes that underwent primary SB. Conclusion: Scleral tunnels and scleral sutures had similar postoperative outcomes. Combined PPV/SB in eyes with scleral tunnels might be a risk for strabismus post retinal detachment surgery.

History Of

A longitudinal study was carried out in the vitreo-retina clinic of the National Institute of Ophthalmology andHospital (NIO&H) on 30 eyes of 25 patients who were treated with scleral buckle (SB) surgery during theperiod of October 2004 to September 2005 of either sex. The aim of this study was to determine the outcome ofSB surgery in Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). The main entry criteria for this study wereprimary RRD treated with SB and for which 12 weeks of follow-up were available. The eyes with proliferativevitreoretinopathy or with history of SB surgery, vitrectomy, posterior segment open-globe trauma orsignificant concurrent eye disease e.g. amblyopia, macular disease etc were excluded from this study. Overalltwenty-four eyes (80%) achieved retinal reattachment with one SB procedure (encircling or segmental); themedian 12-week visual acuity was 6/12. Three additional eyes (10%) achieved retinal reattachment with onevitreoretinal procedure; the median 12-week visual acuity was 6/9. Three eyes (10%) never achieved retinalreattachment despite one additional vitreoretinal procedure, and 12-week visual acuity was no perception oflight. It can be concluded that SB for primary RRD achieves anatomical efficacy and preservation of centralvision in the majority of eyes.Key words: Scleral buckle; Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment outcome.DOI: 10.3329/jafmc.v6i1.5987Journal of Armed Forces Medical College, Bangladesh Vol.6(1) 2010 p.21-24

Physiological Outcome

Introduction: Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) is a potentially blinding condition. Objective: To evaluate the anatomical and functional outcome of surgery of RRD. Materials and methods: A prospective study of interventional case series was designed including 50 consecutive patients with RRD in a tertiary level eye center in Kathmandu. The patients underwent scleral buckling (SB) or pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) according to the proliferative vitreo-retinopathy (PVR) changes. All the patients had at least 3 months of follow-up. The anatomical and physiological outcome measures were primary retinal reattachment and improvement in visual acuity respectively. The surgery was considered successful when there was attachment of retina after the first surgery. Results: The mean age of these patients at the time of presentation was 46.24 ± 19.82 years. Of 50, sixty-six percent of the patients underwent SB and 34 % underwent PPV. Primary surgical success rate was 88 %. While comparing the initial best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) with the final, 72% had an improvement, 12 % unchanged and 16 % had a deteriorated visual acuity. Conclusion: The visual acuity improves and the anatomical success rate is high in the majority of the patients after surgery for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.

Purpose To evaluate the outcomes and complications of scleral buckle surgery alone or combined with pneumatic retinopexy (pneumatic buckle) for the treatment of primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Design Retrospective chart review. Participants Two hundred thirteen patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment of whom 101 underwent primary scleral buckle surgery at Rabin Medical Center in 2005–2015 (SB group) and 112 underwent pneumatic buckle surgery at Royal Alexandra Hospital in 2013–2015 (PB group). Methods All patients were followed for ≥12 months. Data on clinical and surgical parameters, outcome, and complications were collected from the medical files. Main Outcome Measures Best corrected visual acuity and anatomical outcomes. Results At 12 months, average best corrected visual acuity was 0.3 logMar in the SB group and 0.42 logMar in the PB group ( P < 0.05). Rates of anatomical reattachment were high and similar in the two groups (99% and 97%, respectively, P = 0.623). The SB group had a higher percentage of patients requiring additional laser applications (21% vs. 7%; P < 0.01) and buckle readjustment surgery (6% vs. 0; P = 0.01), and the PB group had a higher percentage of patients who required postoperative pars plana vitrectomy (30% vs. 17%; P = 0.03). Conclusion Scleral buckle surgery alone is efficient for the treatment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Its combination with pneumatic retinopexy usually has no significant added value in terms of anatomical reattachment rate. Outcomes of Pneumatic buckling vs Scleral Buckling for RRD

Purpose: The purpose of this article is to report the characteristics of patients with retinoschisis-related retinal detachments and to summarize their clinical outcomes after surgical repair. Methods: A single-center interventional case series of 37 eyes from 35 patients who underwent surgery to repair a retinoschisis-related retinal detachment between January 1, 2009 and January 1, 2017 was conducted. Results: The mean ± SD age at the time of the first retinal detachment repair was 63 ± 13 years. As the initial surgery, scleral buckle was performed in 14 eyes, scleral buckle + vitrectomy in 14 eyes, and vitrectomy in 9 eyes. The single-operation success rate for the entire cohort was 65% (24/37), and the final anatomic success rate was 97% (36/37). Among eyes requiring more than 1 surgery, 46% (6/13) developed proliferative vitreoretinopathy. Best-corrected visual acuity improved or remained stable after 1 year of follow-up in the majority (n = 27, 73%) of eyes. The mean (SD) number of surgeries required to achieve the final anatomic and visual result was 1.8 (1.2) for all eyes (range, 1-5 surgeries). Conclusion: The single-surgery success rate for retinoschisis-related retinal detachments was lower than that reported for typical rhegmatogenous retinal detachments, and the incidence of proliferative vitreoretinopathy was higher. When counseling patients with retinoschisis-related retinal detachments, it is important to caution them that they may require more than 1 surgery to achieve anatomic success.

Introduction. Scleral buckle surgery retains a special place in treatment of retinal detachment despite development of new and advanced vitreoretinal surgical techniques. The outcome of any retinal detachment surgery depends on correct selection of patient, type and nature of detachment, and the expertise. This study aims to evaluate various other parameters that determine the outcome of scleral buckle surgery. Method. Records of 55 patients with primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment treated with scleral buckling over a duration of 18 months that had a minimum of 3-month follow-up were retrospectively reviewed. Preoperative and postoperative characteristics were recorded. Parameters that were evaluated to determine the outcome were best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), anatomical success, and complications. Results. A total of 51 eyes of 50 patients that met the inclusion criteria were included. Mean age was 41 ± 19.9 years (range: 9 to 83). Primary anatomical success was achieved in 80.4%. Parameters significantly associated with the anatomical outcome of surgery were status of lens, preoperative visual acuity, and extent of retinal detachment. There was a significant improvement of visual acuity postoperatively. Conclusion. Scleral buckle surgery is a highly effective surgery in uncomplicated retinal detachment cases, and single surgery success rates are better in cases with good preoperative visual acuity, partial detachment, and clear crystalline lens.

Anatomical Success Rate

Purpose: To investigate the anatomical success rate associated with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) repair without postoperative head positioning. Methods: Data on 182 individuals undergoing pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with or without phacoemulsification or scleral buckle for primary RRD with intraocular tamponade were retrospectively reviewed. The primary outcome was the initial anatomical success rate. Secondary outcome measures were the change in best-corrected visual acuity and the final reattachment rate. Results: A total of 122 eyes from 122 patients who underwent RRD repair without postoperative positioning were included in this study. PPV alone was performed in 39% of cases, whereas the remaining patients had PPV combined with phacoemulsification (35%), with scleral buckle (19%), or both (7%). Inferior breaks between the 4 o’clock and 8 o’clock positions were present in 47% of cases. Primary and final anatomical success was achieved in 86% and 98% of cases, respectively. The most common cause for redetachment was proliferative vitreoretinopathy. Age and combined inferior retinal and superior breaks were predictive of recurrence in the logistic regression model. The mean baseline best-corrected visual acuity improved from 1.2 (Snellen equivalent, 20/320) to 0.76 (Snellen, 20/125) logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution after retinal reattachment ( P < .001). Conclusions: PPV combined with or without phacoemulsification or scleral buckle for primary RRD in pseudophakic eyes or those rendered pseudophakic is associated with good anatomical outcomes without restricted postoperative head positioning. Retinal detachment in eyes with combined retinal inferior and superior breaks may have a lower success rate, and whether this is due to lack of postoperative positioning needs further evaluation in prospective, controlled studies.

Purpose To introduce a modified scleral buckling surgery using noncontact wide-angle viewing system and intraocular illumination in the treatment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) without proliferative retinopathy. Methods A modified scleral buckling surgery using noncontact wide-angle viewing system with a 25-G optic fiber through sclerotomy site was performed in 22 eyes of 22 patients with RRD. Twelve women and 10 men were included. The mean age was 49.23 ± 15.19 years. The mean refraction of myopia was -4 D (range -3 to -7 D). The mean duration of RRD was 6.64 ± 3.14 days. The preoperative best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) ranged from 0.02 to 0.8. Mean follow-up was 9.59 ± 2.24 months. Proliferative retinopathy was grade A in 8 eyes and grade B in 14 eyes. Results This surgery was performed successfully and retinal attachment was achieved in all eyes at the final follow-up. The postoperative BCVA increased in all eyes. No complication was encountered related to this technique. Conclusions This modified scleral buckling surgery brings a panoramic and upright view and easy surgical maneuvers. It may be an additional approach for the management of RRD.

Abstract Introduction: To compare the results and complication rates of a 25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy (25g PPV) with gas tamponade for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) between experienced and inexperienced surgeons.Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective comparative consecutive case series study of patients with uncomplicated RRD treated with 25g PPV with gas tamponade. Patients were divided into 2 groups: In Group 1 (ESG) the procedure was performed by an experienced vitreoretinal surgeon and in Group 2 (ISG) the procedure was performed by 2 inexperienced surgeons. Anatomical and functional results and complication rates were compared between the two groups.Results: 216 eyes were included in the study. In the ESG (106 eyes), the single operation success rate was 94.3%, and the final success rate was 100%. The mean best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) improved from 0.38 decimal to 0.73 decimal. In the ISG (110 eyes), the single operation success rate was 93.6%, and the final success rate was 100.0%. The mean BCVA improved from 0.33 decimal to 0.74 decimal. The differences between groups were not statistically significant. There was no difference in complication rates between groups.Conclusions: A 25g PPV with gas tamponade for treatment of RRD yields excellent anatomical results and improvement in BCVA. With good technique and use of modern vitrectomy machines and instruments, even inexperienced surgeons can achieve high single operation success rate, suggesting a short learning curve. The complication rate is comparable between experienced and inexperienced surgeons.
