Abstract
- We performed temporary scleral buckles to treat the rhegmatogenous retinal detachment without traction by using intraorbtal balloon. Four eyes of four patients were operated from July 1994 to January 1995 and followed for at least 6 months. Balloon was inserted into the parabular space and left for one week. Cryopexy- or laser-induced adhesions were needed to make the attachments permanent. In all patients, retina reattached successfully without reopening of retinal break after the removal of the balloon. We suggest that intraorbital ballooning is a good choice of primary procedure for the retinal detachment with a single retinal break or group of breaks close together, because this is simple and inexpensive.
