Scleral buckling with nondrainage procedure for treatment of rhegmatogenous retina detachment

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic outcome of scleral buckling with nondrainage procedure in patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment(RRD).Methods Nineteen eyes with RRD were treated with scleral buckling combining with scleral cryocoagulation.All patients were followed up for at least 2 months.Results Seventeen eyes achieved retinal reattachment.Only two eyes were detached at follow up examination. The operation success rate was 89.47%.There were 13 patients whose visual acuity got to 0.3 during more than 2 months of follow-up.Among them 2 patients achieved 1.0.Conclusion Scleral buckling combining with scleral cryocoagulation for RRD achieves satisfactory efficacy and can be used in the treatment of RRD.
