Relaxing Retinectomy - Author: Filipe Lucatto MD

TIPS: 1 – Before a relaxing retinectomy is created, diathermy should be applied to the entire area to be cut 2 - As a general principle, the retinectomy should extend into normal retina on each end of the area of contraction. 3 - The anterior flap of the retinectomy is avascular and nonfunctional. We recommend excision of the retina anterior to a large retinectomy so that fibrin and cellular proliferation do not rejoin the cut edges of the retina or proliferation from the anterior flap does not produce traction on the ciliary body. Excision of the anterior flap is especially important at the ends of the circumferential retinectomy. Failure to extend the retinectomy into normal retina or to excise the anterior flap may allow recurrent proliferation and contraction to redetach the retina. RETINA.
