Abstract
- By means of slit-lamp biomicroscopy of posterior segment of the eye specific indications for open-sky subtotal vitrectomy are (1) recently established massive periretinal proliferation where multiple scleral buckling procedures have failed. (2) adhesion of the retina to anterior segment structures and (3) extensive adhesion of vitreous strands and membranes to the detached retina. Seven cases were operated between June to December 1978 by open-sky technique which seemed incurable by conventional retinal surgery. The operations resulted success rate in 3 out of 7 cases, which have been followed for at least 10 months. The results appeared to justify an aggressive approach to open-sky vitrectomy.
