Episcleral silicone rods are used as encircling elements in retinal detachment surgery. In order to reinforce the encircling effect and form a stable effective buckle, the episcleral silicone rod is combined with an Arruga suture or a fairly rigid teflon band. The Arruga string (a 2-0 supramid suture) is sewn, in a longitudinal direction, into a solid silicone rod (2 mm in diameter) or into a silicone half-cylinder (diameter 3 or 4 mm). Soft sponge-like rods can also be reinforced with a 2 mm broad teflon band placed on the flat surface of the half-cylindrical silicone element. Drainage of subretinal fluid is usually performed in order to make room for the high circumferential buckle. Experience has shown that this modified encircling procedure is very useful in complicated cases of retinal detachment.
巩膜硅胶棒在视网膜脱离手术中用作环扎元件。为增强环扎效果并形成稳定有效的扣带，巩膜硅胶棒与阿鲁加缝线或相当坚硬的聚四氟乙烯带联合使用。将阿鲁加线（2-0 聚酯缝线）纵向缝入实心硅胶棒（直径 2 毫米）或硅胶半圆柱体（直径 3 或 4 毫米）中。软海绵状棒也可用放置在半圆柱形硅胶元件平面上的 2 毫米宽聚四氟乙烯带进行加固。通常进行视网膜下液引流，以便为高周向扣带留出空间。经验表明，这种改良的环扎手术在复杂的视网膜脱离病例中非常有用。
