Summary
Scleral buckle surgery effectively reattaches the retina and improves vision for retinal detachment (RD). Preoperative proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) did not significantly impact success rates, supporting its use in select RD cases.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Retinal Surgery
Background:
- Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RD) requires surgical intervention for vision preservation.
- Scleral buckling is a common surgical technique for RD repair.
