INDUCTION OF POSTERIOR VITREOUS DETACHMENT IN EPISCLERAL SEALING ON THE EYES WITH RHEGMATOGENOUS RETINAL DETACHMENT ^{[№ 4 ' 2013]}
Episcleral sealing was made in 55 patients (55 eyes) with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). In 30 patients (30 eyes) surgical treatment was combined with intravitreal injection "Gemasa". Retinal detachment relapses occurred in two eyes (6.7%) of the patients treated with Gemasa and in four eyes (16%) of the patients of the control group. Intravitreal injection "Gemasa" prevents the vitreous body tractions on the retina and improves anatomical and functional results of RRD treatment.
