Abstract

Scleral buckling has been successful method of treating rhegmatogenous retinal detachment for 70 years now. In the world of ubiquitous pars plana vitrectomy what has changed was indications and selection of patients for whom scleral buckling is still the first choice procedure. It seems that in young age patients cases scleral buckling should be considered in retinal detachment with holes located in adjacent quadrants and post traumatic retinal dialysis particularly.
