Purpose:
To describe a technique for reducing and reinforcing scleral thinning in cases of necrotizing scleritis with ectasia.
Methods:
Descriptive report of a surgical technique in 2 surgical cases with a video.
Results:
Successful repair and reduction in uveal prolapse from scleral thinning in 2 cases of necrotizing scleritis with ectasia with a suturing technique using overlapping (weave) compressive suturing over a scleral patch.
Conclusions:
In cases of necrotizing scleritis with ectasia in which there is perforation or prolapsing uvea, this technique should be considered.
