Reference information:
Minimal scleral buckling implies a segmental buckle (oriented radially or circumferentially) which is limited to the area of the retinal break. This can be done as an extraocular procedure by using an elastic plombe, the so-called sponge, making feasible an operation without drainage of subretinal fluid.

In keinem Fall wurde eine Exodrainage angeschlossen, eine Silikonplombe diente als Tamponade des Foramens (in 3 Augen 2 Foramen), eine primäre Netzhautanlegung wurde in allen Fällen erreicht, eine proliferative Vitreoretinopathie wurde in keinem Fall beobachtet, als einzige Komplikation trat eine Verbrennung am Muskelrand des Musculus rectus temporalis auf.

Exodrainage was not necessary in any case. A silicone buckle was used to tamponade the retinal break. Permanent sealing of the break was achieved in all eyes. Follow up was overall one year. No serious adverse effect, exept one small burn in a muscle (M.r.inf.) was observed.
