CONT

... macular buckling surgery ... involves positioning a scleral sponge at the posterior aspect of the globe behind the macula along the [six] o'clock to [twelve] o'clock meridian. An intraoperative B-scan is required for exact placement of the macular buckle. Though this procedure is highly successful, its complexity has prevented it from gaining much popularity.

CONT

Une [...] approche proposée [pour traiter la fossette colobomateuse] est l'indention sclérale maculaire. Cette procédure consiste à placer une éponge sclérale au pôle postérieur pour limiter la migration du liquide intrarétinien et diminuer les tractions du vitré sur la rétine juxta-papillaire. Les résultats anatomiques et visuels sont excellents avec un taux de résolution complète du liquide dans environ 85 % des cas, associée à une amélioration significative de l'AV [acuité visuelle].
