Scleral Buckling

12/01/1986 - "Scleral buckling techniques are effective in treating most eyes with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, and usually the final visual result is limited only by possible preexisting macular damage due to the detachment. "
06/01/2004 - "Nevertheless, primary vitrectomy in combination with scleral buckling has led to a marked decrease of primary failure rate and improvement of functional results in retinal detachment surgery."
09/01/2010 - "Scleral buckling procedures are still effective in the treatment of primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment even in high-grade PVR cases. "
09/01/2010 - "Scleral buckling for retinal detachment due to dialysis yields good results, even in the long term, and remains the treatment of choice for these usually young patients despite the increasing popularity of primary vitrectomy."
09/01/1999 - "We conclude that such a combined approach to primary pseudophakic and aphakic retinal detachments offers significant benefits to scleral buckling alone. "

01/01/2015 - "Scleral buckling with chandelier illumination is effective for pediatric RRD, especially if the retinal hole is difficult to detect preoperatively. "
09/01/2014 - "To evaluate the outcomes of vitrectomy without adjuvant scleral buckling for giant retinal tear (GRT) detachment and assess the impact of preoperative lens status on these outcomes. "
05/01/2013 - "A new sclera-locator for marking the retinal tears on the sclera during scleral buckling."
05/01/2011 - "The authors describe a modified technique for scleral buckling by which a wide retinal tear can be closed with a relatively narrow buckle. "
01/01/2010 - "AIM of each technique is closing the retinal break(s), but the approach is either extraocular (e.o.) with scleral buckling or intraocular (i.o.) with pneumatic retinopexy or vitrectomy. "

12/01/2000 - "Efficacy of removal of buckle after scleral buckling surgery for retinopathy of prematurity."
09/01/2000 - "The purpose of this study was to analyze the surgical results of patients with stage 4 retinopathy of prematurity treated with either encircling or segmental scleral buckling. "
01/01/2014 - "The standard therapy for retinopathy of prematurity stages 4-5 involves pars plicata vitrectomy and lensectomy (stage 5), ab externo surgery (scleral buckling) and lens-sparing vitrectomy (some cases of stage 4). "
10/01/2006 - "Outcomes of scleral buckling for stage 4 retinopathy of prematurity in Thai children."
06/01/2003 - "Outcomes of primary scleral buckling for stage 4 retinopathy of prematurity."

02/01/2005 - "Preoperative orbital MRI may be a useful tool to distinguish multiple mechanisms of persistent severe strabismus after scleral buckling and is helpful in surgical planning."
12/01/2013 - "We reviewed the medical records of 18 patients who underwent strabismus surgery following a scleral buckling procedure and investigated the effect of multiple variables on postoperative alignment after strabismus surgery including gender, age, surgeon, number of strabismus surgeries, adjustable suture use, previous pars plana vitrectomy, preoperative best-corrected visual acuity, and scleral buckle removal. "
01/01/2012 - "The main focus here is strabismus following scleral buckling surgery. "
08/01/2011 - "Median primary position deviation was unchanged by scleral buckle removal, and Exoplant removal has minimal long-term benefit on the strabismus following scleral buckling procedures."
02/01/2005 - "Different mechanisms of pathologic characteristics of the extraocular muscles (EOMs) in complicated strabismus after scleral buckling. "

02/01/1997 - "Scleral buckling procedures combine retinopexy to provide a scar around retinal breaks to seal them and scleral indentation to neutralize vitreous traction; they provided the first effective treatment of RRD. "
03/01/1985 - "Scleral buckling surgery was initially effective in reattaching the retina in all cases but late manifestations of severe ongoing vitreoretinal traction required additional open-sky vitrectomy in two eyes and resulted in inoperable recurrent total traction retinal detachment in one eye and extensive macular scarring in another. "
01/01/2014 - "Vitrectomy and scleral buckling contributed to closure of the irregularly shaped retinal tear at the edge of the tumor scar. "
02/01/2005 - "Strabismus occurring after scleral buckling for retinal detachment typically is attributed to scarring, but this is not the only mechanism. "
10/01/1992 - "Fifteen patients with diplopia associated with prior scleral buckling, prior penetrating keratoplasty, severe corneal scarring, monocular aphakia, long-standing strabismus, or prior vertical offsets of the horizontal recti were thought to have disruption of fusion because diplopia could not be eliminated with prisms.
