Most retinal detachments are treated with a technique known as <u>scleral banding</u>, which involves placing a silicone band over the detached area, forcing the layers of the retina together.

What is scleral banding or buckle?

A scleral buckle is one of several ophthalmologic procedures that can be used to repair a retinal detachment. Retinal detachments are usually caused by retinal tears, and a scleral buckle can be used to close the retinal break, both for acute and chronic retinal detachments.

Scleral buckles come in many shapes and sizes. A silicone sponge (with air filled cells) is a cylindrical element that comes in various sizes. An encircling band is a thin silicone band sewn around the circumference of the sclera of the eye. A solid silicone grooved Tyre element is also used. Buckles are often placed under a band to create a dimple on the eye wall.

Mariana [72]

Answer:

The main function of <u>atrial natriuretic peptide</u> (ANP) is to reduce extracellular fluid volume by increasing renal sodium excretion.

<u>Aldosterone</u> is a steroid hormone, produced by the adrenal cortex, that is part of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system which helps to maintain blood pressure. Aldosterone increases reabsorption of sodium and potassium excretion, and as a result an increase in extracellular fluid volume and in blood pressure.
