Abstract
In one series of 900 explant scleral buckling procedures, 31 had to be removed over seven years because of contamination. Of 1,000 explants from a parallel series, 27 had to be removed. In the second series, requirement of a sterile conjunctiva preoperatively and the use of prophylactic antibiotics postoperatively did not significantly reduce the rate of infection.Mesh:
