Summary

Suprachoroidal buckling (SCB) offers a new, feasible method for retinal detachment (RD) by creating indentation to close tears. This safe and simple procedure effectively treats myopic macular issues and peripheral breaks, potentially avoiding vitrectomy.

Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Retinal Surgery

Background:

Retinal detachment (RD) presents various challenges in surgical management.
Existing treatments like episcleral buckles and vitrectomy have associated complications.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of suprachoroidal buckling (SCB) as a novel approach for treating retinal detachment.
To assess SCB's application in myopic tractional maculopathy (MTM) and peripheral retinal breaks.

Main Methods:

SCB involves guiding specialized devices into the suprachoroidal space to deliver a long-lasting hyaluronic acid filler.
This injection creates suprachoroidal indentation, supporting the retina and closing retinal breaks.
The procedure can be performed independently or combined with vitrectomy.

Main Results:

Restoration of retinal layers was achieved in all treated myopic foveoschisis cases.
Macular holes demonstrated closure in most cases, and all peripheral retinal breaks were successfully buckled and closed in a single procedure.
The SCB procedure proved safe, simple, and provided sufficient duration for chorioretinal scarring.

Conclusions:

Suprachoroidal buckling (SCB) is a viable surgical option for specific cases of retinal detachment, including MTM and peripheral tears.
SCB offers an alternative to traditional episcleral buckles, potentially avoiding complications.
This technique may also obviate the need for vitrectomy in selected rhegmatogenous RD cases.
