[Cerclage of the eyeball with silicone sponge as a successive procedure in severe retinal detachment].

Examined were eighty nine eyes operated for recurrent retinal detachment which were subjected--as an ultimate intervention--to cerclage by means of a silicone sponge with diathermocoagulation of the sclera and with evacuation of the subretinal fluid. In part of the patients one performed additionally a laser coagulation of the retina, scleral cryopexy, intravitreal injection of SF6 gas as well as a posterior vitrectomy.
