title: Gelatin implants in retina surgery.
abstract: Gelatin absorbable implants are a practical and effective material for scleral buckling. They may be used in segmental scleral buckling, meridional implants, aphakic detachments, lower temporal dialyses and macular holes. We describe the technique and the results obtained in 53 patients.
