Functional Outcome of Chandelier-Assisted Scleral Buckling in Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To determine the functional outcomes of chandelier-assisted scleral buckling (CSB) in rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) and compare them to standard scleral buckling (SSB).

Methods

A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses 2020 guidelines. Searches were performed in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Knowledge, and Embase up to March 2024. Studies reporting functional outcomes, particularly best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), after CSB were included. Risk of bias was assessed using standardized tools. Meta-analysis were conducted for BCVA improvement, change in BCVA (ΔBCVA), and operation time. Publication bias and heterogeneity were evaluated using funnel plots, Egger's test, and I
