More than half of previously hopeless cases of MVR can be anatomically reattached by tight elastic equatorial compression with a circling silicone sponge. Visual results range from light perception to 20/30, with most retinas being so severely damaged by the MVR that they regain 20/200 or less vision. Because of the possible serious complications of this operation, it is indicated only for otherwise incurable cases of retinal detachment. In properly selected patients, the benefit of limited vision may clearly justify this admittedly difficult and unpleasant procedure.
超过半数之前被认为无可挽救的黄斑裂孔性视网膜脱离（MVR）病例，可通过用环形硅胶海绵进行紧密的赤道部弹性压迫，在解剖学上实现视网膜复位。视力恢复情况从光感到20/30不等，大多数视网膜因黄斑裂孔性视网膜脱离而严重受损，以至于视力恢复到20/200或更低。由于该手术可能存在严重并发症，仅适用于其他治疗方法无法治愈的视网膜脱离病例。在经过恰当选择的患者中，有限视力改善带来的益处显然能让这一公认困难且不适的手术变得合理。
