ABSTRACT
Purpose:
To present a technique for optimizing repair of traumatic retinal detachments (RDs).Methods:
A patient was followed in an outpatient setting with clinical examinations, optical coherence tomography, widefield fundus photography, and anterior segment imaging.Results:
The patient presented with a total RD after ruptured globe repair. The patient had combined corneal and retinal surgery with placement of a temporary keratoprosthesis (TKP) and vitrectomy with perfluorocarbon liquid (PFCL) to reattach the retina. The TKP and PFCL were left in the eye for 2 weeks before a planned silicone oil exchange and penetrating keratoplasty were performed. Four months postoperatively, the patient presented with a partially attached retina and improved vision.Conclusions:
In this case, a ruptured globe decompensated several months after primary repair. The prolonged use of the TKP allowed for optimal surgical visualization, enhanced office-based assessment, and limited endothelial cell loss of the donor corneal tissue.
