摘要
PURPOSE: To introduce a surgical approach for removing, intruded scleral buckle resulting from Miragel's implant. DESIGN: Interventional case report. METHODS: After cutting and releasing scleral band externally, a pars plana Fragmatome was used to break up and aspirate pieces of the Miragel's implant that had grown into the eye, filling the vitreous cavity. RESULTS: The intruding Miragel's buckle was Shaved to the plane of the retina without any complication. The retina was completely attached. CONCLUSION: Use of ultrasonic fragmentation by a pars plana approach was effective in removing the intavitreally expanded buckling element without harming the retina. (C) 20105 by Elsevier Inc.
