[Intraoperative diagnosis of retinal ruptures in rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in avitreous eyes by using a coloring agent].
Sixteen patients were operated for regmatogene retinal detachment developed at different time periods after a previously made vitrectomy; no retinal ruptures were found in preoperative examinations. The method of colouring with subretinal fluid, 0.1% fluorescence solution, was intraoperatively used for the detection of such ruptures. The coloured fluid escaped from the subretinal cavity through a retinal rapture into the vitreal cavity, which ensured an easy visualization of ruptures. Retinal ruptures could be detected in all 16 (100%) patients. They were located in 8 (50%) cases in the zone of previously made sclerotomy and were regarded as an outcome of the local proliferative vitreoretinopathy on the remains of the basic vitreous elements.
