CLINICAL OUTCOMES OF CHANDELIER-ASSISTED SCLERAL BUCKLING FOR MANAGEMENT OF PRIMARY RHEGMATOGENOUS RETINAL DETACHMENT
Main Article Content
Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the clinical outcome of chandelier-assisted scleral buckling for management of primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Methods: This is a ramdomized uncontrolled interventional study of chandelier-assisted scleral buckling for management of primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in VINO from 07/2021 to 07/2022. Outcomes: This study include 15 eyes of 15 patients who were operated at vitreo-retinal department in VINO aged 17 – 75 years with a mean age of 51.40 ± 15.97 years old. 66.7% were male and 33.3% were female. Mean preoperative best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 1.54 ± 0.74 logMAR units. Quadrants of RD were 20% with 1 quadrant, 40% with 2 quadrants, 13.3% with 3 quadrants and 26.7% with 4 quadrants (including total retinal detachment). Primary and final anatomical success rates were 80% (12/15 eyes) and 100% (15/15 eyes), respectively. The final BCVA was 0.62 ± 0.46 logMAR units (p = 0.001). Conclusion: Scleral buckle using a chandelier endoilluminator is a modified new technique and may be a valid option for the management of rhegmatogenous retinal detachments.
