Bilateral Vitrectomy

Bilateral Vitrectomy

Hi Everyone,

My Doc. told me that I need to have a Bilateral Vitrectomy with Encircling Band, I have been doing some reading on various websites, is this a combined scleral buckle and vitrectomy? Has anyone done this, I need some more information on this. Please help I am suppose to do it next month.

Yes a scleral buckle and an encircling band are the same procedure in all but the rarest of cases.

You can use the search and archive features to read the discussions about vitrectomies and buckles.

This procedure is usually done to correct or prevent retinal detachments.
