Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Retinal Surgery

Background:

  • Macular translocation surgery with a 360-degree retinotomy is a complex procedure.
  • Creating total retinal detachment is a critical step in this surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a modified technique for inducing total retinal detachment.
  • To simplify the creation of retinal detachment during macular translocation surgery.

Main Methods:

  • An interventional case series involving 10 eyes.
  • A modified technique using BSS Plus injection via a 39-gauge needle to create subretinal detachment.
  • Further injection through the retinotomy site with a 20-gauge silicone-tipped needle at a high flow rate.

Main Results:

  • Successful creation of total retinal detachment in all 10 eyes.

Related Experiment Videos

  • One iatrogenic retinal hole in seven eyes and two holes in three eyes.
  • Reduced time required for creating total retinal detachment.

    • Conclusions:

    • The modified technique facilitates the creation of total retinal detachment.
    • This approach may decrease postoperative complications in macular translocation surgery.
