Scleral Patch Graft With a Suture Reinforcement Technique in Surgical Management of Necrotizing Scleritis With Ectasia.

PURPOSE: To describe a technique for reducing and reinforcing scleral thinning in cases of necrotizing scleritis with ectasia.

METHODS

Descriptive report of a surgical technique in 2 surgical cases with a video.

RESULTS

Successful repair and reduction in uveal prolapse from scleral thinning in 2 cases of necrotizing scleritis with ectasia with a suturing technique using overlapping (weave) compressive suturing over a scleral patch.

CONCLUSIONS

In cases of necrotizing scleritis with ectasia in which there is perforation or prolapsing uvea, this technique should be considered.
