Bajo anestesia local se realiza extracción de la queratoprótesis de Boston observándose un desprendimiento completo de la retina de larga evolución con defecto de retina temporal que afecta a mácula.

Bajo una queratoprótesis temporal de Eckardt se realiza cirugía endocular con extracción de membranas preretinianas y subretinianas, retinotomía 360°, extensión de la retina y fijación de ésta con clavos endoculares, inyección de aceite de silicona y sutura de nuevo de la queratoprótesis de Boston.

I can't find anything even approaching “endocular nails”, although a JAMA abstract (https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamaophthalmology/article-a... on mechanical retinal fixation in rabbits mentions metallic retinal tacks and biodegradable mechanical retinal fixation devices called biopins. However, I don't know if this applies to humans. Thoughts?

Tacks were found to cause fibrovascular reaction when used for rhematogenous retinal detachment (Ohira et al., 1991). Severe proliferative reactions and retinal detachment were induced after
intraocular tacks application (Algvere and Jahnberg, 1990). In conclusion, there is so far little evidence that the utilization of tacks is safe and efficacious.

Retained intraocular tacks have been reported for
periods of up to 10 years without significant retinal
toxicity.3 A patient with complex retinal detachment
associated with giant retinal tear who was treated with
stainless steel retinal tack fixation is presented with
21-year follow-up after surgery.
