An inexpensive fiberoptic light pipe to aid in placement of episcleral radioactive plaques.

W B Snyder1, D G Fuller, G E Fish.   

Abstract

Episcleral plaque placement requires accurate localization of choroidal melanomas. Available fiberoptic light pipes can be fashioned to become scleral markers and transilluminators. The equipment is available wherever posterior segment surgery is performed. Surgical technique and equipment modifications are described.
