Core Tip
Core tip: We report a consecutive case series of four eyes with serous and hemorrhagic choroidal detachments secondary to cataract surgery or trauma to evaluate the feasibility of using a sub-Tenon’s urokinase injection-assisted 23-gauge and 20-gauge incision to drain choroidal detachments. The primary advantage of this technique is that it makes clot liquefaction happen in the early treatment stage and allows a slower and semiautomated controlled mechanism to be achieved, resulting in marked stability during the procedure.
