Preoperative estimation of retinal hole location using ultra-wide-field imaging.

ABSTRACT:

Background/objective

Accurate localization of retinal holes is essential for successful scleral buckling (SB) surgery. We aimed to verify the feasibility of using ultra-wide-field (UWF) imaging for preoperative estimation of retinal hole location.

Patients and methods

We observed 21 eyes from 21 patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) who underwent successful SB. They were treated at the Department of Ophthalmology of the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University between November 2020 and November 2021. UWF fundus photography using an Optos device was performed at different steering positions 1 day before, 1 day after, and 1 month after SB. Using the preoperative fundus images, we measured the transverse diameter of the optic disc (D1) and the distance from t
