Iris Root Chandelier Illumination for the Management of Advanced Pediatric Tractional Retinal Detachments
2019
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: To describe a safe illumination technique in advanced pediatric tractional retinal detachments. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A 50-week-old premature infant with stage 5 retinopathy of prematurity was managed utilizing this technique. The surgical technique is demonstrated using a video. RESULTS: A non-trocar chandelier illumination system was used safely to provide adequate illumination for bimanual dissection. CONCLUSION: This technique allows working under chandelier illumination in a controlled fashion in advanced stages of pediatric ischemic vitreoretinopathies.
