  Retinal detachment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As such, except for special instances, the vitrectomy operation is not usually used as the initial operation to attempt to repair a rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.
Ignipuncture is an outdated procedure that involves cauterization of the retina with a very hot pointed instrument.
It was pioneered and named by Jules Gonin in the early 1900s.

Moreover, if the detached retina is separated too long from the pigment epithelium, which supplies essential nutrients, the neural cells in the retina die.
In 1920, two years after his initial discovery, Gonin reported that he had been able to cure a few people of retinal detachment, using a treatment he called "ignipuncture." The technique involved cauterizing the sclera (the eye's opaque outer layer) with a hot instrument and deliberately perforating it to allow the subretinal fluid to escape.
The operation had only a 53 percent success rate and was highly controversial.
