MANAGEMENT OF GIANT RETINAL TEARS WITH VITRECTOMY, INTERNAL TAMPONADE, AND PERIPHERAL 360° RETINAL PHOTOCOAGULATION

Abstract

The success rate of management of GRTs with vitrectomy, internal tamponade, and peripheral 360 degrees photocoagulation of the retina without scleral buckle is high. Photocoagulation of the peripheral retina over 360 degrees appears to decrease the risk of secondary peripheral retinal tears.
