In vitro experiment to elucidate the mechanism of the 'soft shell technique' for preventing subretinal migration of perfluoro-octane.
Abstract
AIM: Perfluorocarbon liquid (PFCL) can migrate into subretinal space in detached and stiffened retina with open holes during vitreoretinal surgery. An innovative 'soft shell' technique was introduced to reduce the complication using hyaluronate (HA) to 'cover' the retinal hole. This study aims to study the effectiveness of this technique in vitro.
METHODS: Ex vivo porcine retina was mounted on a transwell insert. Beneath the retina was an …
