Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Clinical Trial
Outcomes of surgery for retinal detachment associated with proliferative vitreoretinopathy using perfluoro-n-octane: a multicenter study.
To report visual acuity and anatomical outcomes, as well as complications, of management of complex retinal detachment with proliferative vitreoretinopathy using pars plana vitrectomy and intraoperative perfluoro-n-octane (PFO), and to investigate clinical features associated with anatomical and visual acuity outcomes. ⋯ In the management of complex retinal detachment associated with proliferative vitreoretinopathy, pars plana vitrectomy and use of intraoperative PFO was associated with retinal reattachment and preserved visual acuity in most eyes.
