New Retina Radio Journal Club with VBS: New Retina Radio Journal Club with VBS: Is Buckling Effective for RRD in Patients at Risk for PVR?

New Retina Radio by Eyetube

How do outcomes differ for RRD patients at risk of PVR following PPV alone or combined PPV/scleral buckling? Moderator David Xu, MD, hears from panelists Barton Blackorby, MD, and Prethy Rao, MD, MPH, about a recent peer-reviewed paper published in Ophthalmology Retina covering surgical outcomes of patients with RRD who were considered high risk for PVR and underwent either PPV alone or PPV/scleral buckling. After the break, the doctors discuss the specific mechanics of a PPV/scleral buckle that may lead to successful surgery and ask whether this paper helps us better understand risk factors for PVR.
