[Suprachoroidal hydrogel buckling].

Suprachoroidal hydrogel buckling is a simple and safe procedure for the treatment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. The advantages of modern vitrectomy and classical buckling surgery are combined in this surgical approach. Suprachoroidal buckling can be performed as a stand-alone procedure or in addition to vitrectomy. Cross-linked hyaluronic acid with a resorption time of up to 8 weeks is a suitable agent for this technique. Further studies will help to establish suprachoroidal buckling as a surgical procedure for treatment of retinal detachment.
