Abstract:
Objective To compare the efficacy of pneumatic retinopexy and subretinal drainage in the treatment of primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment(RD) in scleral buckling procedure.Methods Pneumatic retinopexy or subretinal drainage was applied during the scleral buckling procedure when lots of subretinal fluid existed.Results Twenty-three of 26 eyes(88.5%) were successfully reattached by pneumatic retinopexy during scleral buckling procedure for the repair of primary retinal detachment.New hole formation was the major complication for the surgical failure.One eye was fixed by another buckling procedure and the other two were treated by vitrectomy.Eleven of 12 eyes(91.7%) with primary RD were successfully managed by scleral buckling procedure and subretinal fluid drainage.Subretinal hemorrhage occurred in one eye after subretinal drainage.Conclusion Pneumatic retinopexy can substitute subretinal drainage in the repair of primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment when plenty of subretinal fluid exists.
