56.1General Considerations
In eyes with a posterior staphyloma, the rigid ILM does not allow the otherwise elastic retina to stretch and conform to the highly concave contour of the scleral bulge (see Fig. 56.1).1 The detachment typically develops over the entire area of the staphyloma, and a secondary macular hole may eventually also form.
Pearl
In all other forms of RD the primary cause is either in front of the retina (VR traction), below it (subretinal traction or mass), occasionally inside the retina (shortening), or fluid production (optic pit); here the cause is an anatomical abnormality in the eyewall.
One possible surgical option is to place a buckle over the macula. I prefer performing PPV for this condition; the technique is described below. The main goal is to relieve the central retina of the two forces that prevent retinal reattachment: the posterior cortical vitreous2 and the ILM.
56.2Surgical Technique
•Perform a subtotal vitrectomy.
•Create a PVD.
–A vitreoschisis is found in these eyes, not a PVD.
–It is very difficult to visualize the posterior cortical vitreous, even with TA, because there is little or no contrast between the white crystals and the posterior pole. The pigment content of the retina and choroid is very low, and often it is
1Except for the lack of the scleral bulge, VMTS may cause a rather similar OCT image (see Sect. 50.1.1).
2Which, contrary to the traditional description, is not detached in these eyes.

Fig. 56.1 OCT image of an eye with a central RD over a posterior staphyloma. The retina is unable to follow the large bulging of the eyewall and the neuroretina gets detached from the choroid/RPE with serous fluid present in the subretinal space. The curved line of the hyper-reflective RPE layer is due to the posterior staphyloma
the light reflex from the white the sclera that dominates the background. The staphyloma-spanning RD is one possible indication for staining the posterior vitreous cortex with ICG (see Sect. 27.3.3 and Fig. 34.1), which may allow the surgeon to actually see that vitreous is indeed still attached to the retina.
–Unlike in eyes without a posterior staphyloma, it is crucial to understand that the port of the probe can directly face the retina (see Sect. 24.1) in certain locations, potentially risking retinal injury while attempting the PVD. The vitreous is very adherent, the retina is thin, and even in areas with attached retina the forces preventing RD development (see Sect. 26.3) may be weaker.
–It may be impossible to reach the posterior pole with a standard-sized probe without indenting the eyewall (see Table 42.1).
•Perform a 360° laser cerclage to reduce the risk of postoperative RD due to a peripheral tear (see Sect. 30.3.3).
•Stain the ILM with ICG.
–Keep the dye in the eye for a good 20 s to achieve maximum staining.
–Peel the ILM in as large an area as possible. I always try to do this up to, or even beyond, the rim of the staphyloma.
Q&A
Q Why is it so difficult to peel the ILM in a highly myopic eye?
AThere are several reasons. There may still be cortical vitreous on the retinal surface; the ILM may stain rather well, but the contrast will still be poor due to the white background; the retina may be as thin as 1/3 of its normal thickness; and the ILM has a high tendency to tear.
•If a true macular hole is present, drain the submacular fluid carefully, using a soft-tipped flute needle.
– If there is no macular hole, do not create a retinotomy, simply leave the subretinal fluid behind.
•Use a gas tamponade and ask the patient to strictly position facedown for as long as the gas bubble is present, but at least for 5 days.
If this surgery is unsuccessful, silicone oil may be implanted or a SB used.
