Objective  To analyze the surgical feasibility, operative key points and visual function recovery of scleral buckling in patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) with large or giant retinal hole. Methods  RRD patients with large or giant retinal hole who underwent scleral buckling in Chengdu Aidi Eye Hospital between January 1, 2019 and December 31, 2020 were retrospectively selected. The general data, complications and postoperative recovery of the patients were observed. Results  A total of 344 inpatients (351 eyes) underwent scleral buckling with RRD, including 43 patients (43 eyes) with retinal detachment of large or giant hole. Among the 43 patients, there were 30 males (30 eyes) and 13 females (13 eyes); 42 cases were successfully operated and got retinal reattachment, and 1 failed. One week later, the patient underwent vitrectomy combined with silicone oil tamponade, and got retinal reattachment. No serious complications occurred in the patients after operation. The visual acuity of most patients improved after surgery. Conclusions Scleral buckling is still an effective method to treat RRD. It is still suitable for more patients as long as they are carefully checked before operation and the operators master the key points of operation. At the same time, more patients’ vitreous bodies can be preserved, and the normal structure and intraocular environment of the eyeball can be maintained.
