Abstract:
Primary scleral buckling has been an effective means to reattach the retina for over 50 years. After surgery, complications may arise that require scleral buckle (SB) removal. The most common indications for SB removal are extrusion, infection, and pain. I review the pertinent literature in an effort to develop guidelines for when to remove a SB.
