The Retinal Glide. A New Surgical Technique for the Myopic Traction Maculopathy Associated with Macular Retinal Detachment

Authors: Alejandro Guerra GR* and Gleydi PR

Abstract

A novel technique for the treatment of the traction myopic paculopathy is shown with previous review of the present techniques. In this unique approach after the ILM is peeled, the peripheral retina is detached and relaxed with a retinitomy. Therefore, the retina glides over the posterior staphyloma under heavy liquid to be definitely reattached. Also a case report of a 56 years old female patient with myopic traction maculopathy with lamellar macular hole and macular retinal detachment in her left eye is presented. The retina is reattached after the surgery with vision improvement observed at the third month with OCT image that confirm the macular hole closure.
