Scleral buckling has been regarded as a simple, time‐tested, effective extraocular procedure in the management of RRD. It has a long learning curve, less surgeon comfort, more patient discomfort, and poor ergonomics. With the advent of microincision vitrectomy and wide‐angle viewing systems, there has been a shift in the trend toward pars plana vitretomy.[2] Conventional scleral buckling procedure has now been considered as a “dying art.” Adoption of endoillumination and wide‐angle visualization systems (contact/noncontact) have rejuvenated this procedure in the recent years.[3‐6] In this review, we have compared Chandelier illumination–assisted scleral buckling (CSB) with standard scleral buckling (SSB) and PPV.
