Abstract

Purpose: : To compare scleral buckling surgery for repair of primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in pkakic and pseudophakic patients.

Methods: : A retrospective chart review of patients clinical records in our institution, Hospital Alemán. Patients were divided in two different lens status groups. We analyzed the anatomic and functional results.

Results: : Anatomic success was achieved in 33 of 45 (73.3%) and 10 of 17 (58.8%) eyes of phakic and pseudophakic patients that underwent scleral buckling surgery respectively. Pos surgical visual acuity was similar in both groups: 0,57 +/- 0,28 and 0,57 +/- 0,24 (decimal scale) respectively. Improvement was greater in the phakic group.

Conclusions: : The final visual acuity was similar in both groups. There is a trend toward success in phakic patients that underwent scleral buckling surgery for retinal reattachment in comparison with pseudophakic group. Our statistics shows similar results as other reviews.
