Abstract
Retinal detachment surgery can be hazardous in the presence of thin sclera, with increased risk of inadvertent perforation. We designed polymethylmethacrylate belt loops that can be fixed to the sclera with cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive, allowing 360 degrees scleral buckling to be performed without sutures. We report the successful use of this technique in a three-year-old girl with a rhegmatogenous retinal detachment and blue sclerae.Entities:
