Scleral Imbrication for Retinal Detachment

Closure of Large Chronic Macular Hole by Scleral Imbrication and Retinal Expansion

“…Scleral imbrication, earlier described as a primary treatment for retinal detachment 32 and a combined procedure for limited macular translocation, 33 was later modified as tucking of the middle portion of the temporal sclera. Recent studies reported the effectiveness of this procedure in treating myopic MH-retinal detachment and myopic traction maculopathy by reducing the posterior scleral area.…”

Combined rhegmatogenous and tractional retinal detachment in a child with incontinentia pigmenti managed by scleral imbrication with scleral buckle

“…This prevents the variable and unpredictable outcomes post vitrectomy and silicone oil usage. Very few reports of scleral imbrication with scleral buckle exists for the management of adult cases in recent times 13 14…”

Scleral buckling—a brief historical overview and current indications

“…However, even lamellar resection carried a high risk of comorbidity and attempts to achieve the same buckling effect without risking tissue resection were therefore developed. These techniques included Weve's 'reefing' procedures [8], scleral out-folding procedures [9][10][11], scleral in-folding procedures [12][13][14][15][16][17] and scleral shortening by shrinkage with diathermy [18]. With all of these techniques, the main objective was the 'buckling' effect that was produced, which became a key factor in successful retinal re-attachment.…”
