Retinal detachment repair is a surgical procedure used to treat retinal detachment, a condition where the retina pulls away from the underlying tissue, potentially leading to permanent vision loss. The repair involves reattaching the retina using various techniques, such as scleral buckling, pneumatic retinopexy, or vitrectomy, depending on the severity and location of the detachment.

Scleral buckling involves placing a silicone band around the eye to push the retina back into place. Pneumatic retinopexy uses a gas bubble injected into the eye to push the retina back, and vitrectomy involves removing the vitreous gel to relieve traction on the retina.

Retinal detachment repair is a critical procedure for preventing vision loss, and the success of the surgery depends on the promptness of treatment and the extent of retinal damage.
