    This study presents two cases of retinal detachment where scleral ruptures occurred during scleral buckling surgery. Both retinal reattachments were successful, with no long-term complications at the rupture site.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Retinal Surgery
    • Surgical Complications

    Background:

    • Scleral buckling is a common surgical procedure for retinal detachment.
    • Significant scleral ruptures are a rare but serious complication during this surgery.

    Observation:

    • Two cases are presented where significant scleral ruptures occurred during scleral buckling surgery for retinal detachment.
    • The ruptures were successfully managed using standard scleral buckling techniques.

    Findings:

    • Retinal reattachment was achieved in both cases despite the scleral ruptures.
    • Long-term follow-up revealed no significant ocular complications at the rupture sites.

    Implications:

    • Standard scleral buckling elements can effectively manage significant scleral ruptures.

  • This suggests that careful intraoperative management can lead to favorable outcomes even with this complication.
