Abstract

Objective To evaluate the results of segmental scleral buckling surgery for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.Methods 163 cases of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment from Mar.2005 to Jan.2009 were enrolled in the study.Each retinal break was located by indirect ophthalmoscopy.Scleral buckling,cryotherapy and drainage of subretinal fluid procedure were applied.Encircling was used in 93 eyes of 89 patients(the test group) but was not used in 76 eyes of 74 patients(the control group).All patients were followed-up for 6-9 months.Results ①89 eyes in the test group and 64 eyes in the control group got complete retinal reattachment;② postoperative corrected visual acuity improved in 82 eyes of the test group and 64 eyes of the control group.Conclusions Segmental scleral buckling without combining encircling surgery to treat rhegmatogenous retinal detachment simplifies the surgical procedure and has a better visual prognosis.It is an effective surgical procedure.
