Giant Retinal Tear - Size Does Matter

Manish Nagpal MD, FRCS

Show Description +

Giant retinal tears are defined as tears larger than 3 clock hours. Because of their size, these tears tend to roll back posteriorly and to have radial extensions leading to a high incidence of PVR. In this video, Manish Nagpal,MD, presents several cases demonstrating the surgical management of retinal tears.

In grt'S without PVR i usually do a Air PFCL exchange and then put oil but in case there is significant PVR then the chances of flap slippage are high with this technique and in that situation we do a direct OIL PFCL or a graded PFCL AIR OIL exchange gradually keeping a close watch on the edges with wide angle visualisation...

Great video! Thanks for sharing those challenging cases. Perfluorocarbon liquids are a real help in those situations, and you used them very effectively.

Yes most of them do. However the functional success is not always comparable to the anatomical success !!!! as with all retinal surgery :(
