Supplemental gas tamponade after conventional scleral buckling surgery--a simple alternative to surgical revision.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Supplemental intravitreal gas injection was used in the early postoperative period in an attempt to achieve long term retinal reattachment in 11 cases of failed scleral buckling surgery. Success was dependent on the presence of a correctly placed scleral buckle underlying all breaks. Surgical revision was thereby avoided in these patients. However, when the scleral buckle was inadequate the technique failed.

متن کاملThe fishmouth phenomenon in retinal detachment: old concepts revisited.
The 'fishmouth phenomenon' seen in some previously treated retinal detachments is associated with large horeshoe tears and scleral buckling techniques. A method of treating patients with this complication is described in which scleral buckling with implant or explant is not used. The technique utilises intravitreal air tamponade with cryopexy and gives good results. The incidence of patients de...
