WAILEA, Hawaii — In this Healio Video Perspective from Retina 2024, Daniel Zhu, MD, discusses outcomes of chandelier-assisted scleral buckling in rhegmatogenous retinal detachments.
Zhu said using a chandelier light helps improve detection of possibly previously missed retinal breaks on prior exams. In a meta-analysis, Zhu and colleagues found that the success rate for the procedure was around 91.7% in 30 studies.
“We also compared the chandelier scleral buckling to the standard technique using the indirect and found that between the two techniques there was no statistically
