Usefulness of a standardized scleral buckling technique for primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment
This technique utilizes the characteristics of the anatomical positional relationships between the scleral insertion of the lateral rectus muscle, which is reported to overlap with the vitreous base insertion, and the ora serrata and shows promise in identifying retinal breaks and determining buckling positions, indicating its potential effectiveness for the treatment of RRD. The favorable anatomical and visual outcomes support the potential usefulness of this technique in buckling surgeries.
