Abstract

To evaluate the incidence and degree of retinal displacement following scleral buckling (SB) surgery for macula-involving rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). Retrospective interventional case series comprised of patients treated with primary SB procedure without gas tamponade for macula-involving RRD and imaged postoperatively with fundus autofluorescence imaging between June 1, 2016 and July 25, 2021. Clinical notes, operative reports, fundus autofluorescence photographs, and optical coherence tomography images were reviewed. The presence and degree of retinal displacement were recorded. 12 eyes of 11 patients were included. One (8%) eye with an epiretinal membrane demonstrated 0.1 mm of retinal displacement along the superior arcade and in the superotemporal periphery. The remainder of eyes (92%) did not show any identifiable signs of retinal displacement. Retinal displacement does not appear to be a frequent complication of primary SB surgery for macula-involving RRD.
