Choroidals<br />
In 4 of the 1,462 detachments, a postoperative choroidal effusion<br />
developed. These four eyes were highly myopic. Choroidals were<br />
the cause of primary failure and final failure in 0.3%. This is less<br />
than the reported 2% to 8.6% after cerclage with drainage [10].<br />
Complications<br />
Intraocular<br />
Minimal extraocular surgery is performed without drainage of subretinal<br />
fluid. As a result, the intraocular complications of drainage,<br />
such as hemorrhage, intraocular infection, incarceration of retina<br />
or vitreous, do not occur. In addition, the need for a subsequent<br />
intraocular injection of gas or saline to restore intraocular pressure<br />
with its complications is also eliminated.<br />
Secondary glaucoma, cataract, or anterior ischemia did not<br />
occur, and because the procedure was extraocular, there were no<br />
iatrogenic breaks. Intraocular complications from cryopexy did<br />
not occur,because all applications were monitored by indirect ophthalmoscopy<br />
for a medium lesion (first appearance of white in the<br />
retina) [43]. There was a rare choroidal in highly myopic eyes.<br />
Extraocular<br />
6 Minimal Segmental Buckling With Sponges and Balloons<br />
The extraocular complications that might occur with minimal segmental<br />
buckling without drainage are reversible. After using the<br />
Lincoff sponge-2 in 210 eyes (series 2 to 4), one sponge (
