An alternative method of gas-fluid exchange through the limbus in patients with giant tears and complicated retinal detachments is presented. The indications for the combined surgery of scleral buckle, vitrectomy, and gas-fluid exchange are suggested. The results of this type of surgery in 5 patients with giatn retinal tears, and in 12 patients with complicated retinal detachments, are reported. Most failures were caused by massive periretinal proliferation.

D012163 Retinal Detachment Separation of the inner layers of the retina (neural retina) from the pigment epithelium.
