Histopathology of polytetrafluoroethylene (Gore-tex) as a scleral buckle in humans.

Several materials have been used for scleral buckling implants in retinal detachment surgery. Of these, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE, Gore-tex) has the relative advantage of decreasing infection and extrusion when it is used as a scleral buckle material. In this report, we present the clinical and histopathologic finding of a case where Gore-tex was used as an encircling buckle material for retinal detachment operation.
