Double Retinal Tamponade for Treatment of Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment with Proliferative Vitreoretinopathy and Inferior Breaks.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the simultaneous use of short-term perfluoro-n-octane (PFO) with perfluoropropane (C3F8) gas to achieve retinal reattachment in eyes with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) with proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) grade C and multiple retinal breaks including inferior breaks.

Design

This is a prospective interventional case series study. Patients and Methods. The study was a prospective noncomparative interventional study. It included 30 eyes of 30 patients who had RRD with PVR grade C and multiple retinal breaks including inferior tears attending the vitreoretinal unit of Minia University Hospital, Egypt.
