“…Recent update in chandelier-assisted scleral buckling includes using 3D visualization system [ 5 , 14 ], antidrying contact lens [ 5 ], combination with an endolaser [ 25 ], and intravitreal injection of hyaluronate [ 26 ]. A new modification that continued to emerge may improve the ergonomics of surgeon and increase the attraction or popularity of chandelier-assisted scleral buckling.…”

Objectives. To report the long-term results of scleral buckling using 25-gauge chandelier illumination. Methods. The medical records of all patients presenting to Shanghai Tenth People’s Hospital with simple rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) from June 2013 to Oct 2015 were retrospectively reviewed in this consecutive case series. All patients underwent preoperative and postoperative best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), B-ultrasound, fundus photography, and optical coherence tomography examination. Ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) was obtained postoperatively. Results. Ten patients (10 eyes) were included in the final analysis. Of 10 patients, the average age was 49.3 ± 18.9 years old, the average duration of RRD was 30.9 ± 53.3 days, and the mean follow-up period was 6.2 ± 0.9 years. There were nine eyes with myopia and four eyes with macular detachment. The primary anatomical success rate was 90%. Five eyes underwent 360-degree band with element surgery, and five eyes underwent element surgery alone. The average length of encircling band and element was 68.2 ± 1.3 mm and 10.5 ± 2.5 mm, respectively. There were no intraoperative or postoperative complications that occurred. The final BCVA was greater than or equal to 20/40 in nine eyes, of which four eyes achieved 20/20. UBM examination of the 25-gauge chandelier insertion site revealed no tissue proliferation. Conclusions. For simple rhegmatogenous retinal detachment treatment, 25-gauge chandelier illumination-assisted scleral buckling is a kind of effective and safe method.

Scleral buckling (SB) remains an important technique to master for those interested in treating rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). Several ways to repair RRD include pneumatic retinopexy (PR), pars plana vitrectomy (PPV), SB or a combination of these. There is a growing worldwide trend that favors PPV as the preferred method for retinal reattachment of primary uncomplicated RRD. Reimbursement issues, operating room access, and technological advances in PPV that improve retinal visualization and less exposure to SB during fellowship training may explain this trend. As the number of SB cases decreases over time, there is a risk that SB becomes a dying art and surgeons in training may not be trained in SB. SB is preferred in eyes with no posterior vitreous detachment and retinal dialysis. SB with minimal gas vitrectomy may be indicated for eyes with inferior pathology. Non-contact wide-angled visualization with chandelier assisted SB may be well suited for teaching new generations of aspiring vitreoretinal surgeons. Its functional and anatomic results compare favorably with conventional SB for primary uncomplicated primary RRD. The main advantage of this technique is the improved visualization even through small pupils. Better visualization ensures treatment of all breaks while avoiding complications during drainage of subretinal fluid and a safer placement of intrascleral sutures for scleral fixation of the buckling element. Recordings of the procedure are easily performed, allowing the surgeons involved to review the case and learn from it. The main disadvantage is the cost involved with the chandelier and the need to have a microscope or a 3D system with a wide angle viewing system. Photoreceptor re-alignment following retinal re-attachment is an important determinant of the post-operative functional outcomes. Different methods of retinal re-attachment apparently result in different degrees of photoreceptor re-alignment. SB may hold an advantage over PPV in this regard.
