ABSTRACT
Two hundred and sixty cases has been operated in the past ten years for recurrent retinal detachment which revealed relative damage off the sclera. These patients had either an encircling procedure segmental expolant or implants. Proper diagnosis of the degree off damage, was noticed before surgery and during re-operations. Management included either a trasvitreal or extrascleral approach, a delicate procedure with special exposure techniques. In 90%, the retina was re-attached, 75% off those had visual acuity ranging from 3/60 to 6/12, and 15% had ambulatory vision only
