    Retinal detachment can occur after strabismus surgery due to needle penetration. Using spatula needles and prompt treatment of perforations may prevent this serious complication in nonmyopic eyes.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Complications
    • Retinal Diseases

    Background:

    • Strabismus surgery is a common procedure to correct eye alignment.
    • Retinal detachment is a serious complication that can affect vision.
    • Previous studies have noted various causes of retinal detachment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the occurrence and characteristics of retinal detachment following strabismus surgery.
    • To identify potential etiologic factors and recommend preventive measures.

    Main Methods:

    • Case series analysis of four nonmyopic eyes in three patients who developed retinal detachment post-strabismus surgery.
    • Clinical examination and documentation of surgical history and findings.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • All affected eyes had a chorioretinal scar at the operated muscle site, adjacent proliferating fibrous tissue, and vitreous hemorrhage.
    • Findings were comparable to retinal detachments caused by foreign body perforation.
    • Needle penetration of the globe during muscle surgery was identified as the likely cause.

    Conclusions:

    • Needle perforation during strabismus surgery is a potential cause of retinal detachment in nonmyopic eyes.
    • Employing spatula needles can minimize the risk of globe penetration.
    • Diathermy or cryoapplication should be considered if perforation is suspected.
