[Limits of episcleral buckling procedure (author's transl)].
After a brief survey on the indications of the Lincoff buckling technique, the limits of this method are demonstrated by means of varions cases. Then the application of the intraocular gas tamponade with sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) as an additional measure is recommended and described. The combination with vitrectomies in cases of advanced vitreous complications (MPP, proliferations, haemorrhages) is indicated.
