Abstract
Objective To investigate affecting factors of the efficacy of scleral buckling surgery for the treatment of primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Methods The data of 43 eyes of 43 patients with primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment treated with scleral buckling from Apr. 2015 to Aug. 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. The affecting factors of the efficacy were analyzed. Results There were 38 eyes (88.4%) with a single tear before surgery. The rate of retina reattachment was 86.0%. The preoperative visual acuity and the number of retinal tears were closely related to the retinal reattachment rate (P=0.006, 0.002). The difference in visual acuity of successful retinal reattachment patients at 3 months after operation was statistically significant according to the duration of symptoms (P=0.046). Conclusion Postoperative anatomical reattachment is best achieved in cases with good preoperative visual acuity and less retinal tears. Key words: Retinal, detachment, rhegmatogenous; Buckling, scleral
