Abstract

We identified patient and surgical variables which are associated with buckle failure. This study confirms that, scleral buckle procedures still have a role in treating RRD. Sub-retinal fluid drainage, and use of a sponge rather than a silicone tyre, may increase the probability of surgical success.
