title: [An episcleral pouch operation with new elastic materials without drainage of subretinal fluid (author's transl)].
abstract: An episcleral pouch operation that uses dacron reinforced silicone sheeting for the patch and silicone pellets for the stuffing has been used to treat retinal detachments caused by large retinal tears. The elastic properties of the materials permit a buckling operation without drainage of subretinal fluid.
