Thirteen year experience of vitrectomy and air tamponade for primary retinal detachment repair with clinical outcomes
Air tamponade is a safe and effective option for primary RRD treatment. It has no negative effect on the environment and creates less discomfort for patients. VCR removal did not significantly reduce RRD recurrence in the overall number of cases. Further research will help determine the role of VCR in RD recurrence and define in which cases their removal might be beneficial.
