166. Retinal Dialysis

In today’s episode we welcome guest surgeons Dr. Emiliano Rodriguez, a second year vitreoretinal fellow at the Hospital Conde de Valenciana in Mexico City, and his attending Dr. Federico Graue.  They will show us the surgical management of a retinal detachment secondary to a retinal dialysis with a scleral buckle.  The implant they have chosen is a segmental, circumferentially oriented 505 sponge.  At the end of the case we will discuss why scleral buckling is the ideal procedure to manage retinal detachments secondary to retinal dialyses. Thank you Drs. Rodriguez and Graue for sharing this case!
