title: An ultrasonographic study of choroidal indentation height after scleral buckling with lyophylized human tissues.
abstract: The height of the choroidal indentation produced by 26 lamellar scleral pockets filled with lyophylized human fascia lata and by 9 exoplants made up of lyophylized human dura mater was measured with A-scan and B-scan ultrasonography. The mean height of the choroidal indentation produced by lamellar scleral pockets was 4.3 mm 5-20 days postoperatively, 3.2 mm 3 months postoperatively, and 2.5 mm 6-9 months postoperatively. The mean height of the choroidal indentation produced by exoplants made up of dura mater was 4.6 mm 5-20 days postoperatively, 3.5 mm 3 months postoperatively, and 2.9 mm 6 months postoperatively.
