The technique consisted of a transconjunctival approach using an olive tip handled cannula with an Atkinson 25-gauge needle tip that injects a high-purity gel in the suprachoroidal space (SCS) and creates a buckle effect that lasts for 12\u201318 months. Indirect laser retinopexy is done in the operating room or in the early post-operative office visit on the slit lamp. The TSCB technique could be done in the office in selected cases of uncomplicated RRD.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study included 31 eyes of 31 patients. Seventeen eyes were phakic (55%). The RRD involved one quadrant in 81% of eyes. Sixteen eyes (52%) had more than one break. The TSCB procedure was performed in the operating room in 21 patients (68%). The mean duration of follow-up was 5 months. Postoperatively, we achieved retinal attachment in all patients. Three patients (10%) needed a second surgery. Two patients (6%) developed dot hemorrhage due to choroidal puncture.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The TSCB is safe, and avoids the complications of conventional scleral buckling.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s40942-025-00774-2","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,12]],"date-time":"2025-12-12T04:14:59Z","timestamp":1765512899000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Transconjunctival suprachoroidal buckling for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Ehab N.","family":"El Rayes","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ahmed","family":"Al Tayyar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stratos","family":"Gotzaridis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yi-Ting","family":"Hsieh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"774_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1804","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ophtha.2013.01.070","volume":"120","author":"The European Vitreo-retinal","year":"2013","unstructured":"The European Vitreo-retinal.
