Summary

Scleral buckling surgery for retinal detachment can cause ciliochoroidal detachment and shallow anterior chambers. Postoperative monitoring of anterior segment and intraocular pressure is crucial.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Retinal Diseases

Background:

  • Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) necessitates surgical intervention.
  • Scleral buckling is a common surgical technique for RRD repair.
  • Anterior segment complications post-surgery require thorough investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate anterior segment changes after scleral buckling surgery using ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM).
  • To compare outcomes between scleral encircling and segmental scleral buckling.
  • To assess the incidence of ciliochoroidal detachment and anterior chamber shallowing.

Main Methods:

  • Ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) was used to examine 31 eyes with RRD.
  • Preoperative and postoperative assessments of the peripheral choroid, ciliary body, and anterior chamber depth were performed.

  • Scleral encircling was applied in 11 eyes, and segmental scleral buckling in 20 eyes.

    • Main Results:

    • Ciliochoroidal detachment occurred in 100% of eyes after scleral encircling and 40% after segmental buckling.
    • Anterior chamber shallowing was observed in 100% of eyes post-scleral encircling and 60% post-segmental buckling.
    • Two eyes experienced marked shallowing, angle closure, and elevated intraocular pressure.

    Conclusions:

    • Scleral buckling procedures, particularly scleral encircling, are associated with significant anterior segment complications.
    • Postoperative ultrasound biomicroscopy is valuable for detecting ciliochoroidal detachment and anterior chamber changes.
    • Routine slit-lamp examination and applanation tonometry are essential for monitoring intraocular pressure and anterior segment status after surgery.
