Abstract
Traumatic implantation cyst of the conjunctiva has often been reported. We have observed two cases of conjunctival cyst following surgery of retinal detachment. A small vesicular lesion developed at the operation site of the conjunctiva about 5 weeks after the surgery. The cyst filled with clear fluid was located deep in the subconjunctival connective tissues. The wall of the cyst consisted of a few layers of epithelial cells very similar to the conjunctival epithelium and had not any direct connection with the overlying conjunctival epithelium. In order to prevent it a great care must be taken during surgery. A careful accurate apposition of the conjunctival wound will be required. An excessive and forceful retraction of the conjunctival flap for exposure of the operation field should be avoided. And also, an appropriate suture material (i.e. a round, tapered needle with smooth surfaced suture) seems to be necessary.
