    This study on retinal detachment surgery found that buckling procedures without cryotherapy were successful for round holes free of traction. Redetachment occurred in cases with traction, highlighting its importance.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Innovation
    • Retinal Surgery

    Background:

    • Retinal detachment is a serious condition requiring surgical intervention.
    • Traditional retinal detachment surgeries often involve cryotherapy or laser to create retinal adhesion.
    • The efficacy of alternative methods is crucial for patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the outcomes of retinal detachment repair using only buckling procedures without cryotherapy.
    • To assess the impact of traction on the success rate of these surgeries.
    • To determine the long-term efficacy of this surgical approach.

    Main Methods:

    • Performed 43 retinal detachment operations using only full thickness buckling.
    • Omitted cryotherapy and other retinal adhesion methods.

  • Selected cases carefully and followed up for 1 to 3.5 years.
  • Drained subretinal fluid in some cases.

    • Main Results:

    • No redetachment occurred in cases with round holes free of traction.
    • Redetachment occurred in 3 cases where traction was present.
    • The follow-up period ranged from 1 to 3.5 years.

    Conclusions:

    • Full thickness buckling without cryotherapy is effective for retinal detachments with traction-free round holes.
    • Traction is a significant factor contributing to redetachment after this surgical approach.
    • This method offers a viable alternative for specific retinal detachment cases.
