The 'fishmouth phenomenon' seen in some previously treated retinal detachments is associated with large horeshoe tears and scleral buckling techniques. A method of treating patients with this complication is described in which scleral buckling with implant or explant is not used. The technique utilises intravitreal air tamponade with cryopexy and gives good results. The incidence of patients developing the fishmouth phenomenon as a complication of parimary simple retinal detachment surgery is much lower when an intravitreal air technique is used than the expected incidence following a primary scleral buckling operation.
在一些既往接受过治疗的视网膜脱离中出现的“鱼嘴现象”与巨大马蹄形裂孔和巩膜扣带术有关。本文描述了一种治疗该并发症患者的方法，该方法不使用植入物或外植体进行巩膜扣带。该技术采用玻璃体腔内空气填塞联合冷冻疗法，效果良好。与原发性巩膜扣带手术后预期的发生率相比，采用玻璃体腔内空气技术时，作为原发性单纯视网膜脱离手术并发症出现鱼嘴现象的患者发生率要低得多。
