title: Laser therapy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.
abstract: Traditional techniques for managing uncomplicated macula-sparing rhegmatogenous retinal detachments include scleral buckling and pneumatic retinopexy. Demarcation laser photocoagulation is associated with less morbidity than these techniques and may be equally as effective in stabilizing selected macula-sparing retinal detachments.
