Abstract
Patient was scheduled for pars plana vitrectomy with autologous scleral graft.During surgery the graft was placed over the pit but was repeatedly getting displaced due to residual fluid in the posterior pole.Finally the graft could be properly plugged over the pit after careful fluid air exchange(FAE) and complete removal of residual fluid.2 months after surgery his BCVA improved to 6/9P with CMT of 210micrometer.
This technique is effective and safe but can be tricky sometimes.This video showcases the difficulties faced while plugging the scleral autograft over the ONH pit.
Conclusion:Thorough FAE is crucial for the success of surgery.
