2023年11月1日 · We discuss the indications of retinotomies and retinectomies for relaxing retinal stiffness, accessing the subretinal space for choroidal neovascular membrane, hemorrhage and abscess clearance, drainage retinotomies to allow retinal flattening, radial retinotomies to release circumferential traction, harvesting free retinal grafts, and prophylac...

2024年9月12日 · Your ophthalmologist may recommend a retinectomy surgery to resolve proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR). This is one of the most common complications of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, which damages your retina. A retinotomy and a retinectomy are complex eye procedures that only the most qualified eye specialists perform.

2017年3月21日 · Retinectomy may mean limited excision of the fixed edge of a retinal flap or total excision of peripheral fibrotic retina. Subjects discussed in this chapter include the indications and techniques for retinotomy or retinectomy, the complications of the procedures, and the techniques for managing the retina after a retinotomy or retinectomy.

Retinotomy refers to “cutting” or “incising” the retina, whereas retinectomy denotes “excising” the retina. Retinotomies and retinectomies aid in tackling traction and retinal shortening that persist following membrane dissection and scleral buckling.

2023年7月1日 · Retinotomy and retinectomy can improve the curative effect of complicated retinal detachment and there are potentially serious complications of these maneuvers and they should be performed if less aggressive measures will suffice.

2016年11月5日 · The two major indications include retinal shortening or a retina with inseparable vitreous and/or membranes on its surface. A retinotomy should always precede the retinectomy, making the selection of the characteristics of the retinotomy the primary issue in surgical planning.

2018年4月11日 · The retinotomy and retinectomy are surgical procedures to attach foreshortened retina secondary to intraretinal PVR. The procedure and the effect are traumatic for the eye and result in a huge complication spectrum in which hypotony dominates.

Retinectomy is a procedure where a part of the (detached) peripheral retina 1 is removed. The two major indications include retinal shortening or a retina with inseparable vitreous and/or membranes on its surface.

There are several indications for doing a retinotomy. The first and best known is proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR). In this circumstance, retinotomy is done where there is retinal shortening or extensive epi- and subretinal fibrosis that do not lend itself to removal except for at the expense of formation of retinal breaks.
