A Novel use of Dermis Fat Graft for the Repair of an Exposed Scleral Buckle
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this retrospective, interventional case report of a 40 year-old woman with Stickler Syndrome, we present a novel use of dermis fat graft to manage an externally exposed scleral buckle that was refractory to other methods of management. Dermis fat graft is a relatively robust material that can be effectively utilized to rescue an exposed scleral buckle. This case presentation conforms to the tenets of the Declaration of Helsinki and is Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act compliant. This single patient case report was institutional review board exempt as it does not meet the definition of human subjects’ research.
