Spontaneous repositioning of a dislocated autologous scleral plug after vitrectomy with autologous scleral plug for optic disc pit maculopathy: A case report

Upside-down positioning may lead to scleral plug dislocation following autologous scleral plug implantation for ODP-M and should be avoided. However, in cases of dislocation, maintaining a supine position may facilitate spontaneous repositioning, potentially eliminating the need for additional surgery. This case underscores the importance of patient education regarding postoperative positioning and demonstrates the potential effectiveness of positional management for scleral plug dislocation.

Abstract

Upside-down positioning may lead to scleral plug dislocation following autologous scleral plug implantation for ODP-M and should be avoided. However, in cases of dislocation, maintaining a supine position may facilitate spontaneous repositioning, potentially eliminating the need for additional surgery. This case underscores the importance of patient education regarding postoperative positioning and demonstrates the potential effectiveness of positional management for scleral plug dislocation.
