Abstract
GONZALEZ DEL VALLE, F. et al. Technique for removing donor sclera by eyeball extrusion. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2012, vol.87, n.9, pp.294-296. ISSN 0365-6691. https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.oftal.2011.07.013.
Purpose: To describe a surgery technique for removing donor sclera tissue after corneo-scleral button excision. Results: The extrusion technique is easy to perform. It allows the complete scleral extraction its total clean up to be performed, as well as making easier to isolate the retina and uveal tissue. This technique could have an important role in the anatomical and morphological study of ocular structures.
