Repair of retinal detachment; scleral buckling, with chorioretinal lesions, drainage of subretinal fluid, when performed

AI EXPLANATION: Retinal detachment repair with a scleral buckle is an eye surgery used to reattach a separated retina back onto the wall of the eye. A surgeon places a small silicone band or sponge around the outer white part of the eye to gently push the wall inward against the detached tissue, relieving traction. The doctor may also drain excess fluid that has accumulated beneath the retina and apply targeted cold therapy or a laser to seal tears and hold the retina securely in place.
