From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.<ref name="Wolfensberger">Wolfensberger TJ. "Jules Gonin. Pioneer of retinal detachment surgery."
