TRANSSCLERAL INCISION FOR PEELING SUBRETINAL PROLIFERATION TISSUE IN GRADE C PROLIFERATIVE VITREORETINOPATHY.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical outcomes of an optimized method to clearly remove the subretinal proliferative tissue by transscleral puncture into the subretinal space in patients with grade C proliferative vitreoretinopathy without inducing retinal injury.

Methods

This was a prospective clinical observation study. Eight consecutive patients who had undergone optimized vitrectomy surgery for retinal detachment complicated by grade C proliferative vitreoretinopathy were investigated. Subretinal proliferation was cleared by adding one additional scleral 23-gauge trocar under the detached retina at 9 mm to 10 mm from the limbus. After the sclera is pierced, the puncture knife changed its direction without touching the retina. 23-G intraocular
