Journal Article
Reviving the lost art of scleral buckling surgery for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment: evaluation of risk factors of detachments, poor physiological outcomes, and perspective from a developing country
2019
Overview
Purpose:
To evaluate the primary anatomic and physiological success of scleral buckling surgery for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment and factors influencing its outcomes.
Methods:
This is a prospective analytical study of 92 eyes that underwent scleral buckling at the Lumbini Eye Institute and Research Center, in Lumbini, Nepal. Parameters evaluated which could influence the outcome of the surgery included the lens status, duration of symptoms, locations of breaks, the extent of retinal detachment, and preoperative proliferative vitreoretinopathy.
Results:
A total of 92 eyes from 88 patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment were evaluated; 68 (74%) eyes were of male and 24 (26%) were of female. The mean time of presentation was 4.71 ± 8.45 months. The overall primary anatomical and physiological success was achieved in 79 (84.9%) and 68 (73.9%) of the cases at 6 months. Sixteen cases developed re-detachment (mean duration of 2.8 ± 1.8 months). Eleven of the cases had a successful anatomical outcome and five of the patients had persistent detachment despite second surgery. In phakic patients, the primary success rate was 92.7% whereas in pseudophakic it was 71.4%. Proliferative vitreoretinopathy 10 (63%) was the most common cause of surgical failure. Bilateral buckling at the same setting was done to two patients—both achieving primary success.
Conclusion:
Scleral buckling is a very good surgical option for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment and represents a surgical technique worth being trained, performed, practiced, and continued despite advancements in modern vitreoretinal surgical devices and preference for vitrectomy and tamponade agents. It may also be successfully tried in cases of bilateral rhegmatogenous retinal detachment if a doubt regarding compliance for follow-up and surgery for the fellow eye exists.
