title: [Surgery of retinal detachment of patients with pseudophakia using the panfunduscope].
abstract: Examination of the extreme periphery of the fundus of patients with pseudophakic retinal detachment is difficult due to poor pupil dilatation, optical aberrations from the intraocular lens, opacification of the posterior capsule or peripheral capsular remnants. Fifty-one patients with pseudophakic retinal detachment were operated on with using the wide angle panfunduscope of Rodenstock. It allows a very satisfactory pre- or intraoperative view of the extreme periphery of the fundus using the slit-lamp of the operative microscope combined with a scleral indentation. In only 3 cases no break was found in spite of pre- and intraoperative examination of the fundus periphery with the panfunduscope. Anatomic success was achieved in 47 out of 48 patients with a minimum of 6 months of follow-up; 3 patients were lost to follow-up. The mean postoperative visual acuity was 0.5. Unlike other methods of fundus examination, such the 3 mirror Goldmann lens or the indirect binocular ophthalmoscope, the panfunduscope allows good visualization of the peripheral retina of patients with pseudophakic retinal detachment using the slit-lamp of the operative microscope combined with a scleral indentation. Thus, small peripheral retinal breaks, often associated with pseudophakic retinal detachment, can be identified.
