Transmuscular Migration of a Scleral Tunnel-Secured Encircling Silicone Band: The migration of an encircling silicone band through a rectus muscle is a rare postoperative complication associated with scleral buckling surgery for retinal detachment. In this present study, we describe what we believe to be the first reported case of a patient who experienced postoperative migration of an encircling silicone band through the rectus muscle, despite the band being surgically secured to the sclera in a scleral tunnel. A 58-year-old man presented with a rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in his left eye. Pars plana vitrectomy was performed with the placement of an encircling silicone band, and the patient’s retina was successfully reattached. One year postoperatively, the encircling band became exposed on the nasal side of the conjunctiva next to the limbus without any symptoms. Two weeks later, the exposed encircling band was surgically removed without any complications. The findings of this study show that even when an encircling silicone band is surgically secured around the eye, periodic and careful postoperative follow-up examinations should be performed to ensure no migration of the band.
