The use of solid soft silicone rubber exoplants in retinal detachment surgery

T M Aaberg et al. Ophthalmic Surg. 1976 Fall.

Abstract

A method of retinal detachment surgery utilizing soft solid silicone rubber exoplants is described along with its use in typical cases. Solid silicone rubber, long used as a scleral implant, is a well-tolerated exoplant scleral buckling material which has been found to provide excellent long-term results. The surgical procedure described is relatively short in duration and has a minimum of operative and postoperative complications.
