METHOD FOR LOCALISING PROJECTION OF DETACHED RETINAL PERFORATION ON SCLERA IN EPISCLERAL FILLING

摘要

FIELD: medicine.SUBSTANCE: after a conjunctiva and a Tenon's fascia are exposed in the quadrant, where the perforation has been found; two adjoining rectus muscles are separated and held by traction sutures; an indirect binocular ophthalmoscopy is used to visualise the perforation, and an instrument is used to press in the scleral sections successively to localize a place therein the pressed-in section is found exactly above the perforation. The instrument used for pressing in the sclera is 20G light guide used in vitreoretinal surgery with its distal end bent at an angle of 100-110°. The place, where the pressed-in section is exactly above the perforation is shown by brighter light emission. The localized scleral section is marked.EFFECT: method provides the faster and more reliable localisation of the perforation projection.
