abstract

  • PURPOSE: To report a technique to remove a dislocated ganciclovir implant in the vitreous cavity. METHODS: Retrospective case series. Two patients with dislocated ganciclovir implants in the vitreous cavity. RESULTS: A 6-mm pars plana incision was made; the soft tip was used to elevate the implant behind the intraocular lens and then 0.12-mm forceps were used to externalize the implant. The implant was successfully removed in both patients. CONCLUSION: Removal of a dislocated ganciclovir implant with its encasing strut can be effectively retrieved using a bimanual approach.
