Purpose: To perform and compare the results of circumferential buckling using a silicone sponge with and without Tenon’s capsule covering. Materials and Methods: We analyzed cases of silicon sponge rejection after 691 cases of circumferential buckling using a silicone sponge in retinal detachment from 2007 to 2020. Depending on whether a silicone sponge was covered with Tenon’s capsule, all cases were divided into two groups: Group A (covered) – 349 cases; Group B (not covered) – 342 cases. The follow-up period was up to 2 years. Results: In Group A, where a silicone sponge was covered with Tenon’s capsule, the rate of silicon sponge rejection was 0.3% (1 case), while in Group B, where the operation was performed classically, the rate of silicon sponge rejection was 5.2% (18 cases) (p<0.01). Conclusions: Our study shows the possibility of minimizing the silicon sponge rejection with a simple method: covering a silicone sponge with Tenon’s capsule.
