    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Techniques
    • Retinal Surgery

    Background:

    • Retinal detachment presents complex surgical challenges.
    • Vitreous surgery is often indicated for complicated retinal detachments.
    • Peripheral retinotomy is a potential adjunct in specific scenarios.

    Observation:

    • The study details the application of retinotomy using right-angled scissors.
    • Cases included a large retinal break with a shrunken edge.
    • Additional cases involved severe myopia with taut subretinal strands and incarcerated retina.

    Findings:

    • Retinotomy was successfully employed in all presented cases.
    • The technique proved beneficial for complex retinal detachment scenarios.
    • Peripheral retinal incisions were effectively utilized.

    Implications:

    • Peripheral retinotomy can be a valuable tool in managing complex retinal detachments.
    • This surgical approach may improve outcomes in challenging cases.
    • Further investigation into retinotomy's role in vitreoretinal surgery is warranted.
