Radial silicone sponge explants were used in the repair of 100 retinal detachments. The radial sponges were particularly effective in treating retinal detachments with horseshoe tears posterior to the equator, large retinal breaks, and elongated radial tears. In 90 of these cases an encircling silicone band was used in addition to the radial sponge. The silicone band was employed to close other small retinal breaks and to relieve vitreous traction in aphakes and myopes. The success rate of reattachment was 94% and the final vision was better or the same post-operatively in 88% of cases.
采用放射状硅胶海绵植入物修复100例视网膜脱离。放射状海绵在治疗赤道后马蹄形裂孔、大的视网膜裂孔和细长的放射状裂孔所致的视网膜脱离方面特别有效。在其中90例病例中，除了放射状海绵外，还使用了硅胶环扎带。硅胶环扎带用于封闭其他小的视网膜裂孔，并减轻无晶状体眼和近视眼的玻璃体牵引。视网膜复位成功率为94%，88%的病例术后最终视力改善或不变。
