Novel technique for removal of persistent subretinal fluid following nondrain retinal detachment surgery

Publication date: Available online 9 August 2016 Source:Taiwan Journal of Ophthalmology Author(s): Roger Wong, Giancarlo Dell'Aversana Orabona, Francesca Simonelli, Catherine Howard This manuscript describes a case of successful reattachment of a macular-off retinal detachment following optical coherence tomography-guided internal drainage of retained subretinal fluid following a nondrain method. To date, there has not been any documented treatment option for this common phenomenon. This novel technique describes a method to remove such fluid and successfully appose the retina to the retinal pigment epithelial layer.
