Does anyone know, if there where any cases of retinal detachment following ultrasonic calculus removal ? I know about one case, who had it following the procedure, at 2 weeks.(But he also had severe myopia and lens implants-both favorizing the detachment.) I am taking advantage of the global knowledge: is this case a pure coincidence, or are there any other cases? Sincerely, DokX

I have not heard about that happening or of that risk from using the ultrasonic. Sounds like a very unique case. - Dozenist talk 00:21, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
