  • Title: [Drainage of subretinal fluid: technic and results].
    Author: Girard P, Bodard E, Pasticier A, Biojout G, Forest A.
    Journal: J Fr Ophtalmol; 1978 Nov; 1(11):649-54. PubMed ID: 155084.
    Abstract:
    The drainage of subretinal fluid (S.R.F.) after choroidal diathermy offers a distinct advantage: important reduction of massive haemorrhages from the drainage site (4% vs 48% in the non diathermy group in our series). According to us it is not a decisive factor for the anatomical prognosis because complications of drainage in themselves seem to be a quite infrequent cause of anatomical failure. On the other hand we think that visual outcome is better in the diathermy group because of a diminution of macular haemorrhages.
