Radial retinotomy in the macula.

J A Bovino, D F Marcus

    Retina (Philadelphia, Pa.)
    |January 1, 1984

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Radial retinotomy, a surgical cut in the retina, was successfully used in the macula to reattach retinas in two patients. This technique aided in repairing macular holes and intraoperative tears when membranes hindered retinal reattachment.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Retinal Surgery

    Background:

    • Radial retinotomy is typically performed in the peripheral retina.
    • Epiretinal membranes can impede retinal reattachment during vitrectomy.

    Observation:

    • Intraocular scissors were used to create radial retinotomies in the macula of two patients during vitrectomy.
    • The procedure was employed to address challenging retinal reattachment cases.

    Findings:

    • Successful reoperation for retinal detachment with macular hole formation using radial retinotomy.
    • Successful repair of an intraoperative macular tear during diabetic vitrectomy with radial retinotomy.

    Implications:

    • Macular radial retinotomy can be a valuable technique for retinal reattachment when epiretinal membranes are present.
  • This approach may offer a solution for complex macular pathologies previously difficult to treat.
