Study of a new series of large relaxing retinotomies
1Centre Hospitalier National d'Ophtalmologie des Quinze-Vingts, Paris, France.
Abstract:
Silicone oil injection followed by retinotomy was performed in a second series of 37 patients with retinal detachment and advanced proliferative vitreoretinopathy. The retina posteriorly to the retinotomy was attached in 16 eyes with at least 18 months of follow-up. Ambulatory vision or better vision was restored in 12 eyes. The size and the site of the retinotomy depend on the size and the site of the retraction.
