Gas tamponade as a single technique in the treatment of retinal detachment: is vitrectomy needed? A comparative study of 120 cases

G van Effenterre et al. Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol. 1987.

Abstract

Internal gas tamponade is employed with no episcleral buckle and can be combined with or without a vitrectomy for the surgical treatment of some forms of retinal detachment. These techniques are for forms of retinal detachment with no proliferative vitreoretinopathy that are being operated upon for the first time and have one or several breaks located on the superior half of the retina. We compare these two techniques, their anatomical results, and their complications.
