GHOLAM A. PEYMAN 1, PHILIP T. NELSEN 1, ALAN J. AXELROD 1, ROBERT O. GRAHAM 1, and MARK J. DAILY 1

1 Department of Ophthalmology of the University of Illinois at the Medical Center, Eye and Ear Infirmary, Chicago, Ill.

An improved technique for resecting a portion of the posterior segment is described. Preoperative photocoagulation and diathermy at the time of surgery provided adequate hemostasis and prevented postoperative retinal detachment. The use of Castroviejo trephine as the cutting instrument permitted histologic examination of the resected tissue.

Key Words: Photocoagulation • diathermy • full-thickness eye wall resection • "eye basket" • Castroviejo trephine • choroidal melanomas
