Intravitreal gas- an asset or debit in retinal detachment surgery?

V T Curtin et al. Mod Probl Ophthalmol. 1977.

Abstract

38 retinal detachment cases in which intravitreal gas was injected were compared to 156 cases without intravitreal gas injection to determine if intraocular gas had deleterious effects upon the visual and surgical results. No differences were found in either group. Intraocular gas enhances the technical aspects in retinal detachment surgery.
