title: [Suprachoroidal (subscleral) fillings of human fat for the operation of retinal ablations (author's transl)].
abstract: A report is given of experimental and clinical experiences on application of suprachoroidal (subscleral) fillings of human fat (0,5-0,8 cm3) for the operation for retinal detachment. The subcutaneous homoioplastic fat is homogenized and injected under the sclera close behind ligamentum pectinatum. After injection there is a hump similar to choroidal amotio. The filling is tolerated well. It serves to reduce the space of vitreous in relation with Custodis operation and cerclage of the bulbus. It is resorbed slowly and incompletely, or organised. Complications are to be feared if the ciliary body is perforated by injection and fat comes into the vitreous.
