Air versus Perfluoropropane Gas in Pars Plana Vitrectomy for Primary Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment: A 3-Year Retrospective Study
Introduction: This study aimed to compare anatomical outcomes of air and perfluoropropane gas (C3F8) tamponade in pars plana vitrectomy for the treatment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). Methods: In this retrospective study, data were gathered from 578 patients (578 eyes) with RRD. The follow-up records of all 578 patients that underwent primary vitrectomy for RRD with air or C3F8 were examined and analyzed. Surgical outcomes of the two groups were compared. Results: A total of 342 eyes were treated with air and 236 with C3F8. The mean follow-up period was 37.65 ± 2.33 months. Baseline and preoperative clinical characteristics were similar between groups, but the period to intraocular bubble disappearance (p < 0.0001), intraocular pressure on the first postoperative day (p < 0.0001), number of cases with intraocular pressure >21 mm Hg within 3 days post-surgery (p < 0.0001), and the number with intraocular pressure >21 mm Hg during follow-up (p = 0.0002) differed significantly between groups. Primary reattachment rates for air and C3F8 groups were 95.03% and 95.34%, respectively. Clinical characteristics were similar in those with and without successful reattachment, and the frequency of new or unclosed breaks was similar between the two groups. There was no significant difference in two groups according to the presence or absence of inferior retinal breaks and inferior detached quadrants. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression identified no risk factor for surgical failure. Conclusions: Air showed equivalent effects to C3F8, with a shorter period to intraocular bubble disappearance, less risk of postoperative intraocular hypertension, and less expense.
