Overview

May support scleral buckling for detachment in retrolental fibroplasia; leaves open confirmation in controlled trials.

Structured PICO

Does a scleral buckling procedure improve retinal reattachment in eyes with retrolental fibroplasia and retinal detachment?

P
Population
59 eyes with retrolental fibroplasia in the cicatricial stage and retinal breaks with or without retinal detachment
I
Intervention
Scleral buckling procedure (performed on 39 eyes with retinal detachment)
O
Outcome
Reattached retinas for six months or longerhard clinical

Scleral buckling is an effective procedure for treating retinal detachment in the cicatricial stage of retrolental fibroplasia, achieving an 87% reattachment rate.
