Interventions

Procedure/Surgery : Pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with gas tamponade is widely popular for the treatment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). Non-expansile gases such as 18&#37

sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), 14&#37

octafluoropropane (C3F8), and room air, are commonly used as gas tamponade at the end of vitrectomy. Recently, a prospective study of inferior RRD showed that the results with room air tamponade were
