Retina Repair using Scleral Buckle Technique

The provider repairs a detached retina by creating a scleral buckle, a flexible band stitched onto the sclera in an area where the retina has detached. The provider chooses from various techniques, such as lamellar scleral dissection (separation of the sclera in layers), imbrication (overlap opposing tissues), or encircle the retina with sutures. The provider may also place a synthetic band (implant) around the tear, apply extreme cold to the tissues (cryotherapy), or apply laser light to heat the tissue (photocoagulation) to seal the tear. In addition, the provider may drain subretinal fluid. Choose a location to see hospital-reported price summaries. This page does not show national, sample, or aggregate pricing.
