Background

The scleral buckling (scleral buckling) or encircling buckle technique has been employed in the management of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (rhegmatogenous retinal detachment).

100%

Results

100%

at 6 months, every treated eye had a fully reattached retina

More results

Seven consecutive patients (seven eyes) with primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment were treated with the segmental scleral buckling technique and followed up for 6 months.

Postoperatively, all seven individuals exhibited satisfactory buckle positioning and height, with retinal detachments resolving within 24 h.

Conclusion · 1 of 2

In this small, consecutive case series from a tertiary referral centre in Indonesia, segmental scleral buckling achieved favourable anatomical and functional outcomes at 6 months, with no redetachment or serious complications.

Conclusion · 2 of 2

The procedure was well tolerated, and in our resource-limited setting, the material costs were lower than those of encircling buckling or vitrectomy based on local procurement prices, although we did not conduct a formal economic analysis.
