Summary:

Coats disease is a generally unilateral, non-hereditary condition associated with abnormal blood vessels. Depending on the severity of exudation, associated exudative retinal detachments can occur, which are often managed surgically. This video series is an overview of the surgical management of Coats disease associated retinal detachments. Watching this series of videos will give you a broad overview and insight into various techniques for approaching Coats disease associated retinal detachments. There are many considerations regarding the initial workup, counseling, and the appropriate surgical steps for successful outcomes. This educational series will provide an overview, including pre-operative considerations, intraoperative considerations such as port placement, lens decisions, posterior hyaloid separation and vitrectomy, various methods to drain subretinal fluid to apply thermal treatment, and tamponade techniques. These instructional videos will highlight techniques, including an overview of pediatric vitrectom, which includes the authors' preferred internal perfluorocarbon assisted external drainage technique to attach the retina in order to apply much needed thermal treatment.
