Outcomes and predictive factors in scleral buckle surgery for rhegmatogenous retinal detachments
We identified patient and surgical variables which are associated with buckle failure. This study confirms that, scleral buckle procedures still have a role in treating RRD. Sub-retinal fluid drainage, and use of a sponge rather than a silicone tyre, may increase the probability of surgical success.
