Dear colleague, thanks for your kind attention to my video. Your question is very interesting. Indeed a scleral buckle reduces a lot the traction in the far and mid periphery. It would be an option, but as you have seen, I performed an inferior retinectomy at the second intervention due to retina contraction, so I thought that a scleral buckle was not necessary because of the large inferior retinectomy. Moreover, the second PVR concerned the temporal and superior retina in the mid periphery. So I am not sure that this scleral buckle was truly needed and able to stop the PVR, but I am not sure, and all is possible in our exciting surgery. I am happy that you enjoyed this video and I will post many other videos of challenging cases on Eyetube this year. I hope to meet you in the future. Bests regards

Do you think that adding a Buckle in the second surgery would have avoided the redetachment?
