360-degree buckling as the procedure of choice in cases of retinal detachment with poor prognosis.
A 360-degree scleral buckling procedure was used 82 cases of retinal detachment with poor prognosis. This procedure was successful in 58.6% of the cases after one operation and 76.8% after two operations. Because the complications observed were partially attributed to the extensiveness of the operation, it is proposed that this procedure be reserved for certain cases of retinal detachment with poor prognosis.
