Abstract
We perform surgery on ten eyes of ten patients of retinal Detachment with giant retinal tear. The surgical procedure induced lensectomy, vitrectomy, retinal incarceration, circumferential scleral buckling on 360 degrees, retinal tamponade with gaz (C3F8) and post-operative photocoagulation of the giant tear. Although most of cases was associated with massive proliferation vitreo-retinopathy, total retinal reattachment was achieved in five eyes.
