Vitrectomy has been used for many years for giant retinal tears (Vidaurri-Leal et al. 1984; Leaver et al. 1984; Peyman et al. 1984; Michels et al. 1983; Federman et al. 1982; Scott 1979), but recent innovations have considerably facilitated the manipulation of the retina.

Additional surgical steps

1.Insert heavy liquids.

2.Apply laser retinopexy under heavy liquid tamponade.

3. Exchange silicone oil (air then gas if a small, 90–180°, superior GRT is present) for heavy liquid.

4. Apply further retinopexy as required.

7.6.3.1 Heavy Liquids

Insert heavy liquids (perfluorocarbon liquids) into the eye to unfold the flap of retina and to stabilise the retina (Kreiger and Lewis 1992; Glaser et al. 1991; Chang et al. 1989; Millsap et al. 1993; Mathis et al. 1992; Scott et al. 2002; Chang 1987). Advance the heavy liquid up to the posterior edge of the tear: Advancing over the tear risks allowing a droplet of heavy liquid to enter under the retina; however, if there is no traction on the edge of the tear, this is unlikely. Use of heavy liquid minimises the risk of slippage of the retina (to 7 % in one study (Meffert and Peyman 1999)). Search 360° in case there are satellite U tears that need treatment as well. If the giant retinal tear is relatively posterior, you may be able to flatten the retina with the heavy liquids and apply laser therapy under heavy liquids. This will provide slightly improved optical properties over trying to do this under the silicone oil. However, occasionally, the giant retinal tear is very anterior, and to fill the eye fully with heavy liquids runs the risk of leaving bubbles of heavy liquid at the vitreous base. These will be seen by the patient postoperatively when lying supine (the bubbles sink onto the fovea) and may enter the anterior chamber and be seen as droplets lying in the inferior angle.

7.6.3.2 Retinopexy

Apply endolaser to the posterior edge of the giant retinal tear and around the ends and anteriorly if the tear is posterior. If the tear is very anteriorly placed, apply laser to the edge, around the ends and up to the ora serrata, without applying laser to the anterior flap. Check that you have reached the ora serrata by indenting the retina after the laser.

The ends of the giant retinal tear and the anterior edge may be more difficult to treat because most of these patients are phakic.

There are three options that can be employed.

One is to apply cryotherapy to the ends in the same manner as a retinectomy (one or two burns at each end should be enough). The cryotherapy probe has the advantage of allowing simultaneous indentation to push the peripheral retina into view. Its use as always should be kept to a minimum to avoid excessive dispersion of retinal pigment epithelial cells into the vitreous cavity thereby risking PVR (Glaser et al. 1993).

Use a curved laser probe and ask an assistant to indent the peripheral retina. This runs the risk of the assistant moving the indent during your retinopexy resulting in a retinal

scrape.

• Alternatively perform trans-scleral illumination.
