Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of the article is, to investigate the efficacy and safety of perfluorocarbon liquid (PFCL) ,as a short term postoperative tamponade for treating retinal detachment ,associated with giant retinal tears.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

a retrospective study wich compared 2 groups that had giant tear repair in one group, PFCL was left for few days as an intermediate measure until silicone oil or SF6 gas was used to reattach the retina ,and in the control group SF6 or Silicone oil were used, with no PFCL.

patients in this group had the PFCL for a period of 7-10 days before it was replaced by SF6 gas or silicone oil

No interventions assigned to this group

control group

in thos group no PFCL was left in the eye and either SF6 or silicone oil was the definitive treatment at the time of the retinal detachment surgery repair.

No interventions assigned to this group
