  • Title: [Guidelines for surgery in the treatment of rhegmatogenous detachments (buckle, pneumatic retinopexy, endosurgery)].
    Author: Langmann G.
    Journal: Klin Monbl Augenheilkd; 2004 Mar; 221(3):160-74. PubMed ID: 15052521.
    Abstract:
    In view of diverging opinions for retinal detachment surgery (pneumatic retinopexy or buckling procedure with or without drainage versus primary vitrectomy without external buckling) pneumatic retinopexy, orbital balloon, buckling procedures (sponge, encircling band) are discussed with a short historical background and a brief description of current technology. Pros and cons of the individual technique are discussed on the basis of monographs and articles. From the repertoire of a retinal surgeon typical case examples are presented, different operation methods discussed, advantages and disadvantages of each individual technique emphasized. A goal of the work is to provide a practicable manual for the less experienced surgeon and the expert, who experiences an increasing trend to vitrectomy techniques instead of the conventional buckling procedures.
