    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Retinal Surgery
    • Biomaterials

    Background:

    • Scleral buckling is a common surgical procedure for retinal detachment.
    • The use of absorbable materials in ophthalmology is an area of ongoing research.
    • Gelatin implants present a potentially advantageous alternative to traditional buckling materials.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and practicality of gelatin absorbable implants in scleral buckling.
    • To describe the surgical technique utilizing these implants for various retinal conditions.
    • To report the outcomes in a cohort of patients treated with gelatin implants.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective review of 53 patients who underwent scleral buckling using gelatin absorbable implants.
    • Detailed description of the surgical technique, including segmental buckling, meridional implants, and treatment for aphakic detachments, lower temporal dialyses, and macular holes.
    • Analysis of surgical outcomes and complications.

    Main Results:

    • Gelatin absorbable implants were found to be practical and effective for scleral buckling.
    • Successful application in diverse cases including segmental buckling, meridional implants, aphakic detachments, lower temporal dialyses, and macular holes.
    • The study reports on the results obtained in 53 patients, demonstrating the utility of the technique.

    Conclusions:

    • Gelatin absorbable implants are a viable and effective option for scleral buckling surgery.
    • The described technique allows for versatile application in managing various retinal detachment pathologies.
    • Further studies may explore long-term outcomes and comparisons with other buckling materials.
