A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS OF SCLERAL BUCKLING WITH ALLOPLANT BIOMATERIAL VERSUS SILICONE SPONGE

A surgical method of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment repair with Alloplant biomaterial is effective and allows to provide a significant visual improvement. Technical simplicity, favorable course of early post-operative period, and lack of complications specific to the majority of episcleral procedures (implant contamination and/or extrusion, buckle displacement, dystrophic scleral changes in the buckling area) are the undoubted advantages of the proposed method, which make it preferable for using in rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.
