Reporting the Results of 35 Cases of Retinal Detachement Operation by Pneumatic Retinopexy and its Comparison with Scleral Buckling

Background and Objectives: The alternative method for scleral buckling (SB) in the treatment of retinal detachment (RD), is pneumatic retinopexy (PR) which is developed in 1986. In this study, the results from 35 cases of RD treatment by PR are reported and compared with the results from SB method. Materials and Methods: The cases are selected from patients who are refered to Nikokari Hospital during 1991-1992. During operation, 0.3 mL of C3F8 gas is used for each patient and a day after operation, a scar is produced around the treated area using argon laser. Two weeks after operation, the patients are allowed to back to work and their follow up proceeded for II months. Results: The results showed that the rate of anatomic success in first PR is 76%, but it raised to 83% in second operation. The main reasons for failure, were new or missed tears (3 cases). PVR was observed in 3 cases, while 2 cases were aphakic. In 60% of treated patients, the vision was better than 20/50. The side efffects were restricted to increase in intraocular pressure, vitreous hemmorrhage (8%) and subconjunctival gas accumulation (11%). Conclusion: In general, it is concluded that side effects of PR technique are less, and hospitalization period is short. Additionally, if PR is failed, still SB could be performed.
