ABSTRACT
Retinotomy refers to "cutting" or "incising" the retina, whereas retinectomy denotes "excising" the retina. Retinotomies and retinectomies aid in tackling traction and retinal shortening that persist following membrane dissection and scleral buckling. We performed a literature search using Google Scholar and PubMed, followed by a review of the references procured. All relevant literature was studied in detail and summarized. We discuss the indications of retinotomies and retinectomies for relaxing retinal stiffness, accessing the subretinal space for choroidal neovascular membrane, hemorrhage and abscess clearance, drainage retinotomies to allow retinal flattening, radial retinotomies to release circumferential traction, harvesting free retinal grafts, and prophylactic chorioretinectomies in trauma.
