- Description
- Endoscopically controlled surgical repair of a rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in a phakic glaucoma patient with a fixed miotic pupil. The formed vitreous is still attached in the posterior pole but separated peripherally. A horseshoe tear is located in the superior nasal portion of the globe. The flap is trimmed and the posterior formed vitreous face is removed from the optic nerve and posterior pole with an open vertical scissors blade. An air fluid exchange through the break completes the reattachment.
