Abstract

Purpose

To describe a surgical technique to avoid retinal slippage.

Method

An audit was carried out on a consecutive series of 75 consecutive cases of macular translocation for age-related macular degeneration (MT360). We encountered two cases of slippage, which led to a change in technique.

Result

No further cases of slippage were encountered. We were able to perform an exchange of perfluorocarbon liquid with air or directly with silicone oil.

Discussion

Retinal slippage is caused by the presence of aqueous in the infusion tubing. Meticulous removal of all aqueous from the infusion system and vitreous cavity can eliminate this complication.
