One "8"-shaped scleral suture to treat rhegmatogenous retinal detachment: a refined procedure of minimal scleral buckling
“One "8"-shaped scleral suture to treat rhegmatogenous retinal detachment: a refined procedure of minimal scleral buckling”, vol. 13, pp. 6665-6671, 2014.
, The aim of this study was to investigate the outcomes of one "8"-shaped scleral suture of minimal scleral buckling (MSB) surgery without sub-retinal drainage for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) treatment. Thirty patients (30 eyes) with RRD were recruited. Thirty eyes with RRD were repaired by one "8"-shaped scleral suture of minimal buckling without subretinal drainage by one surgeon. The refined MSB procedure is described. Reattachment time and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) were observed. The age of the 30 patients ranged from 17 to 65 years (mean, 43.1 ± 8.6 years).
