Retina
and Vitreous
Detachment
Course with International Faculty on: Retinal and Vitreous Surgery
Congress Language:
English
Topics:
Preoperative diagnostics, 4 Rules how to find the primary break and how
to proceed in a retinal detachment "without" a break will be presented,
followed by the differential diagnosis between a rhegmatogenous and nonrhegmatogenous detachment. The art of segmental buckling without
drainage of subretinal fluid will be demonstrated in videos. This minimal surgery, limited to the area of the break, is done with silicone
sponges sewed onto sclera or a temporary balloon without sutures. There
follow 4 Rules how to find an undiscovered second break in a surgical
failure. The longterm anatomical and functional results and as well the
limits of scleral buckling will be demonstrated. The use of the perfluorocarbon gases for breaks unsuitable for buckling will be
described. Indications of vitrectomy for primary retinal detachments or
detachments with pronounced proliferative vitreoretinopathy. for a macular hole or pucker, and for a diabetic eye will be presented. The
results of scleral buckling will be compared with pneumatic retinopexy
and primary vitrectomy. There will be 2 sessions with presentation of
various detachments for discussion by the panel and the audience. The
participants will try to locate the break(s) and select the appropriate
type of surgery for repair. For these case presentations the participants will obtain a syllabus to take home for their clinical work.
