VIDEO: Easier, faster approach to scleral buckling without indirect ophthalmoscope

This video shows a new approach to scleral buckling for retinal detachment surgery, “easier and faster to learn and to perform also by young vitreoretinal surgeons with little or no experience in indirect ophthalmoscopy,” according to Omar Trabelsi, MD.No indirect ophthalmoscope or a three-mirror lens and slit lamp are used. The whole procedure is performed under a microscope with a wide-angle viewing lens (BIOM, Oculus), using a vitrectomy endolight inserted through a 25-gauge trocar.
