Abstract
A technique for repair of giant retinal breaks with detachment involves the performance of lensectomy-sector iridectomy, vitrectomy, and scleral buckling behind the equator. Total fluid-gas exchange is performed while the patient is turned to the prone position on a rotating table. Penetrating diathermy is used to fix the retina and to create retinal microincarceration while air is simultaneously injected into the eye.Entities:
