This document summarizes a study on the outcomes of scleral buckling surgery for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. The study included 50 patients who underwent scleral buckling with cryotherapy, encirclage, and a localized buckle. Immediately after surgery, the retina was reattached in 45 patients, for a success rate of 90%. Complications included recurrent detachment in 5 patients who required vitrectomy, and epiretinal membrane or macular pucker in 2 patients. The document argues that while scleral buckling is less commonly performed now than vitrectomy, it remains an effective technique for uncomplicated retinal detachment, especially in younger patients, with advantages of lower cost

RHEGMATOGENOUS RETINAL DETACHMENT
4. The fundamental principles of retinal attachment surgery are same since
the popularization of scleral buckling techniques by Charles Schepens and
others in the early 1950s.
Specifically,
o All retinal breaks are identified and treated
o Vitreous traction

5. The most common re-attachment procedures performed
today are :
o Scleral buckling (SB)
o Pars plana vitrectomy (PPV)
o Pneumatic retinopexy (PR)

10. Preoperatively extensive fundus drawing was
made to localize tear /hole, number and
presence of PVR.
Surgery was performed under peribulbar
anesthesia with mild sedation.

11. In this case series, all patients underwent technique of :
Break localization
Cryotherapy of breaks
Encirclage with silicon 240 band
Localized 279 scleral buckle
Sub-retinal fluid drainage by 26 number gauge needle
Gas (C3F8) was used for temporary pneumatic retinopexy
Intraoperative laser was done to augment chorioretinal
adhesions for new breaks.

15. 5 patients underwent vitrectomy with silicon oil for recurrent detachment.
Two patients underwent vitrectomy for epiretinal mambrane and macular
pucker.
Sub retinal bleed was seen in 3 of our patients.
Post operative vision remained unimproved in 2 eyes.
Post operative lid edema was seen in 10 patients.

16. Scleral buckling is a very effective procedure in cases of uncomplicated
RRD patients*.
Unfortunately, this technique is performed less frequently due to the
introduction of PPV in early 1970s.
However, SB has multiple advantages over PPV

Specific indications of scleral buckling are :-
1) Less risk of cataract formation, making it suitable for young patients.
2) In older patients , vitreous in preserved.
3) In Myopes with extensive lattice degeneration or an abnormal vitreoretinal
interface, scleral buckling provides 360 degree support of vitreous base and
peripheral retina.
4) Furthermore, in certain cases like retinal dialysis, SB is the treatment of
choice, with a better prognosis and success rate. [*]

TAKE AWAY MESSAGE….
Scleral buckling is a :-
Simple
Effective
Less time consuming
Less expensive technique
Better long term visual rehabilitation
It’s a backbone of RD surgery
Save it from becoming a lost art.
