title: [Scleral surgery of retinal detachment without drainage of subretinal fluid and no cryotherapy].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate anatomic and functional results in patients treated for uncomplicated rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RD) with scleral surgery without the use of subretinal fluid (SRF) drainage and using no cryotherapy.
  
  
  METHODS
  We present a retrospective study of 76 patients who underwent RD scleral surgery without cryotherapy or SRF drainage. We analyze postoperative outcomes and the incidence of intraoperative and postoperative complications.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The average of our retinal reapplications totals 90.78%, which is similar to those described by other types of surgical techniques, while our intraoperative and postoperative complications are dramatically reduced including improvement of functional results.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Scleral surgery for retinal detachment using no drainage of subretinal fluid nor cryotherapy is a useful technique for the treatment of RD.
