    Surgical implants for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment show varied success. Scleral buckling achieved a 93% success rate, while encircling procedures had a 79% success rate in treating retinal detachment.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Innovation
    • Retinal Surgery

    Context:

    • Retinal detachment is a serious condition requiring surgical intervention.
    • The 1st University Eye Clinic, Vienna, has accumulated six years of experience with surgical implants.
    • A total of 704 cases of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment were surgically treated.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of different surgical implants in treating rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.
    • To compare the success rates of scleral buckling versus encircling procedures.
    • To report outcomes for complex cases involving massive periretinal proliferation and giant tears.

    Summary:

    • 493 cases utilized scleral buckling (81% silastic sponge), with 52% subretinal fluid drainage and a 93% success rate.

  • 211 cases used encircling elements (83% 2mm silicon rod), with 90% subretinal fluid drainage and a 79% success rate.
  • 37 complex cases (massive periretinal proliferation, giant tears) treated with retinopexy, scleral indentation, vitrectomy, and SF6 gas achieved 13 anatomical cures.

    • Impact:

    • Scleral buckling demonstrates a higher success rate for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment compared to encircling procedures.
    • The study provides valuable data on surgical outcomes for retinal detachment, informing clinical practice.
    • Experience with complex cases highlights the potential of combined surgical techniques for challenging retinal detachments.
