| Sumario: | The following is a response to the recent review article by Girsang and colleagues (Int J Retina Vitreous. 2020;6:46), who describe concept and application of relaxing radial retinectomy for retinal detachment with advanced proliferative vitreoretinopathy. We discuss the distribution of the retinal nerve fiber layer, an aspect not touched on by the authors, and the importance of its consideration in determining visual field outcomes when performing retinectomy. Moreover, we share our clinical experience with both radial and circumferential retinectomy and discuss scenarios where the combination of both is more effective. |
