  • Title: Retinal detachment surgery. Buckling procedures and drainage of subretinal fluid.
    Author: Chignell AH, Markham RH.
    Journal: Trans Ophthalmol Soc U K (1962); 1977 Sep; 97(4):474-7. PubMed ID: 281775.
    Abstract:
    The encircling procedure, while still an important part of succesful retinal detachment surgery, has been found to be unnecessary in a wide variety of retinal detachments which can be more simply treated by local buckles. A much more important aspect of the detachment procedure, however, is the avoidance where possible of drainage of subretinal fluid.
