Since the advent of recent advances in sutureless vitrectomy instrumentation and wide field visualization systems, scleral buckling (SB) procedures are on the decline. Chandelier-assisted SB appears to be a useful alternative to conventional scleral buckling. It provides an excellent view compared to indirect ophthalmoscopy, as well as zooming capabilities for accurate localization of breaks, allowing for transmission to a monitor in the theatre for teaching purposes.
