Information about Ignipuncture
Ignipuncture (Latin: Ignis (fire) + puncture) is the original procedure of closing a retina break in retinal separation by transfixation of the break with cautery. The procedure was pioneered and named by Jules Gonin in the early 1900s.[1] Due to the risk of severe complications and availability of lasers for controlled delivery of energy, Ignipuncture became obsolete procedure, superseded by much safer techniques like endophotocoagulation using a laser system, since 1980s.
The retina is a thin layer of neural cells that lines the back of the eyeball of vertebrates and some cephalopods. It is comparable to the film in a camera.
