Abstract
- Retinotomy, cutting of the retina, can be helpful in hte management of giant retinal tears, subretinal strands, and retinal incarceration. Relaxing retinotomies are used in the presence of retinal shortening or fibrous proliferation and contraction, and usually performed in the peripheral or equatorial retina. To fascilitate retinal attachment, the authors used intraocular scissors to perform radial retinotomy in the macula of two patients during vitrectomy surgery. We obtained a successful result using retinotomy in the macula as an adjunct to repair of retinal detachment with macular hole formation.
