METHOD FOR SURGICAL TREATMENT OF RETINAL DETACHMENT WITH LOWER RUPTURES USING SILICONE AND GAS-AIR TAMPONADE Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC A61F9/07 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, specifically to ophthalmology. For treating retinal detachment with lower retinal ruptures, a standard three-port vitrectomy is carried out, perfluoroorganic compound (PFOC) is introduced into the vitreous cavity, PFOC is replaced with air and endolaser coagulation of the retina is performed. After endolaser coagulation of retina 0.5 ml of viscoelastic is introduced into the vitreal cavity. Termination of operation is completed by tamponade of vitreal cavity with 15 % gas-air mixture containing perfluoropropane C₃F₈, for this purpose, gas-air mixture is introduced through one of ports with the help of syringe with volume of 20 cm³, simultaneously with it two other ports are closed. Patient is placed face-up half-sitting for two days.

EFFECT: method improves anatomical and functional results, reduces frequency of recurrences of retinal detachment and postoperative complications, such as development and progression of cataract, secondary cataract, secondary glaucoma.
