Abstract
We used transvitreally delivered cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive to seal retinal breaks in 25 selected patients undergoing vitreous surgery for complicated retinal detachment. With a minimum follow-up period of six months, all but one retinal hole remained closed. Complete retinal reattachment posterior to the encircling buckle was achieved in 18 of 25 eyes (72%). In ten of 25 eyes (40%) the final visual acuity was 5/200 or better.Entities:
