Joanne C Wen1, Jocelyn Lam, Michael R Banitt.   

Abstract

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.
