The operation was performed in 5 aphakic eyes and in 71 myopic eyes. Cerclage had been used 94 times as a first approach, in 15 cases it was a reoperation. Cerclage with an extrascleral implant had been used in 81 cases (in 15 cases as a reoperation). Reattachment of the retina was attained in 127 cases (73.7%).
