Foldable Capsular Scleral Buckling Versus Vitrectomy in Medium-complex Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment Treatment

Pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and scleral buckling (SB) are major choices in treating rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) of medium complexity. PPV is more prevailed since it improved internal search for breaks and elimination of vitreous traction. SB has unmatched advantages over PPV such as earlier rehabilitation, free from prolonged positioning, less complicated cataract or glaucoma. The novel foldable capsular scleral buckle (FCSB) can create a big bulge by pressing on the sclera and seal the break in bullous RRD without scleral drainage. In the study, differences of anatomic and functional results between PPV and FCSB in treating primary RRD of medium complexity are evaluated.
