Abstract Purpose: To demonstrate combined local dry vitrectomy and segmental scleral buckling for the treatment of partial rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) with local vitreous traction in patients at high-risk for proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR). Methods: Seven eyes of 7 patients were retrospectively studied, including 3 retinal dialysis, 3 retinal detachment (RD) with peripheral retinal holes and 1 RD with giant tear. All patients exhibited local vitreous traction and a high risk for PVR. Dry local vitrectomy without regular infusion was performed to remove the vitreous traction. Viscoelastic fluid was injected into the vitreous cavity if needed. Segmental scleral buckling was performed accordingly. Demographic information, preoperative and postoperative complications, and outcomes were recorded. Results: The mean age of the patients at presentation was 22.43±14.28 years old. All seven patients obtained retinal reattachment after a single surgical intervention. Postoperative visual acuity was improved in all patients. None of them developed complications, except for temporary mildly increased intraocular pressure in 2 cases. Conclusions: Combined local dry vitrectomy and segmental scleral buckling is effective for patients of RRD with local vitreous traction. The technique avoids many complications associated with regular surgery and was minimally invasive to both the external and internal eye.

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.

Purpose. To assess the outcome of sutureless encirlcing number 41 band and transscleral laser retinopexy in uncomplicated rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD), using a wide-angle viewing system (WAVS) and chandelier endoillumination.Methods. Prospective intervention study included 30 eyes of 30 patients presenting with RRD of recent onset indicated for SB. All cases were treated by sutureless encircling number 41 band and transscleral laser retinopexy. Visualization was provided by the Resight WAVS and a single 27-gauge chandelier endoillumination. Anatomical and visual outcomes were evaluated.Results. The mean age of our group was 49.8 ± 12.3 years, and the mean duration of RD was 7 (0–50) days. Twenty-four eyes (80.0%) were phakic while the remaining 6 eyes (20%) were either pseudophakic or aphakic. The primary retinal reattachment rate was 83.3% (25 out of 30 eyes). LogMAR visual acuity improved from 1.3 (0.30–2.0) preoperatively to 1.0 (0.40–1.60) at first month (p=0.002) and to 0.70 (0.20–1.92) at third month (p<0.001).Conclusion. Sutureless encircling number 41 band with chandelier-assisted transscleral laser retinopexy is a safe and effective technique for managing uncomplicated RRD. It provides a high primary success rate while eliminating the complications of cryotherapy, sutures, and broad buckles.

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

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.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of maximal pneumatic retinopexy (PR) and subretinal fluid (SRF) drainage combined with scleral buckling (SB) in the treatment of complicated rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). Methods Patients with RRD who underwent maximal PR and SRF drainage combined with SB from June 2007 to June 2012 were included in this multicenter retrospective study. The outcome measures were the primary and final operation success rates and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA). Results In total, 159 consecutive patients were included. The mean follow-up period was 13.76 ± 1.97 months. Primary operation success was achieved in 146/159 (91.82%) eyes. After salvage management, the final reattachment rate increased to 98.11%. All eyes had improved BCVA, with 62/159 (38.99%) attaining BCVA of ≥20/40. Conclusions Maximal PR and SRF drainage combined with SB achieved satisfactory anatomical and visual recovery in relatively complicated cases of RRD. The decreased need for vitrectomy makes this surgical approach more widely available.

Introduction: Scleral buckling (SB) was the principal surgical intervention for patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) until the development of pars plana vitrectomy. The study aims to evaluate the outcome of SB without subretinal fluid (SRF) drainage in RRD. Materials and methods:  A retrospective observational study was conducted at a tertiary eye care center. Charts of patients operated with SB without SRF drainage for RRD between January 2014 and December 2015 were evaluated. The main outcome measure was the primary reattachment rate at 1 month after single SB surgery. Other outcome measures were final reattachment rate after further intervention, visual improvement and relation of various parameters with retinal reattachment. Results: One hundred and seventeen patients were included of which 90 (76.9%) were men. Mean age was 26.68±12.6 years (Range 9-60). All eyes were phakic. Only 1 patient had a macula on RD. The primary reattachment rate was 84.6% (n=99). Mean LogMAR (±SD) visual acuity (VA) improved from 1.92(±0.46) to 1.02(±0.42). Extent of RD, number of breaks, and type of break was found to have no association with retinal reattachment. Association between type of PVR and status of retina post buckling was found to be significant (p=0.026) with retinal reattachment seen in 100% in PVR-A and only 60% in PVR-C2. Final reattachment rate was 98.2%. Complications encountered were postoperative diplopia (n=1), suture granuloma (n=1) and buckle infection (n=2). Conclusion: Scleral buckling without SRF drainage, an exclusively extra ocular procedure, is an effective and safe treatment modality for non-complicated RRD.

Purpose. To determine the factors associated with the development of a macular hole (MH) after successful rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) surgery.Methods. Of 1260 eyes that underwent surgery for RRD between April 2005 and March 2010 in our hospital, the medical records of 4 cases from our hospital and one case from another hospital that had undergone RRD surgery and later developed MH were reviewed. This is a retrospective study.Results. 837 eyes underwent pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with or without scleral buckling (SB), and 423 eyes underwent SB. The four cases that developed MH had PPV alone and one case had PPV with SB. After including the results of three earlier reports, the mean interval for the MH to develop after SB alone was significantly shorter than after PPV alone or after PPV with SB.Conclusions. The SB procedures might accelerate the development of MH after RRD surgery.

Purpose. To observe the changes in metamorphopsia after scleral buckling (SB) surgery for macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) and its association with morphological changes in the macula. Methods. This prospective study included 20 eyes of 20 patients. Before surgery and 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery, metamorphopsia measured by M-charts and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and macular microstructures assessed using optical coherence tomography were recorded. Results. Both the vertical and horizontal M-scores improved significantly after SB surgery. BCVA also improved gradually. The mean M-score in the eyes with a continuous external limiting membrane (ELM) was smaller than that in the eyes with a disrupted ELM ( P = 0.008 ). Preoperative and postoperative BCVA did not correlate with the mean M-score at any time point. The other studied parameters, namely, the duration of RRD, the height of retinal detachment, central foveal thickness, inner nuclear layer thickness, and continuation of the ellipsoid zone, were also not relevant. Conclusions. The continuation of the ELM may be a critical factor in determining the severity of metamorphopsia after SB surgery for macula-off RRD.
