AIM: To investigate the curative effect of minimally invasive sclera buckling on single retinal detachment.

METHODS:Totally, 100 cases of patients with retinal detachment(106 eyes)enrolled in our hospital were randomly divided into observation group and control group, 53 eyes in each group. Patients in observation group were treated with minimally invasive sclera buckling, while patients in control group received traditional limbal conjunctival incision. After surgery, patients were all followed up for 6～18mo, during which the retinal recurrence situation, degree of vision enhancement and compliance occurrence rate was recorded.

RESULTS: The retinal reattachment rate once of observation group(96.22%)was significantly higher than that of control group(88.68%), there was statistically significance(P<0.05). The vision enhancement rate of observation group(84.90%)was significantly higher than that of control group(71.70%), there was statistically significance(P<0.05). The compliance occurrence rate of observation group(11.32%)was significantly lower than that of control group(32.08%), there was statistically significance(P<0.05).

CONCLUSION: The improved minimally invasive sclera buckling can significantly enhance the curative effect for retinal detachment, decrease the compliance occurrence rate, improve vision function, and is a scientific, practical and rigorous tool for retinal detachment treatment.
