Abstract
To introduce a surgical approach for removing intruded scleral buckle resulting from Miragel's implant. Interventional case report. After cutting and releasing scleral band externally, a pars plana Fragmatome was used to break up and aspirate pieces of the Miragel's implant that had grown into the eye, filling the vitreous cavity. The intruding Miragel's buckle was shaved to the plane of the retina without any complication. The retina was completely attached. Use of ultrasonic fragmentation by a pars plana approach was effective in removing the intavitreally expanded buckling element without harming the retina.
