Gas tamponade choice in low-to-moderate complexity primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment: propensity-matched comparisons of SF 6 , C 2 F 6 and C 3 F 8

Nikolaos Tzoumas, Xiaoman S. Li, David Yorston, Tom H. Williamson et al.

Short summary

Perfluoroethane (C2F6) gas tamponade may offer superior anatomical success and similar visual outcomes compared to SF6 and C3F8 in primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) repair, with C3F8 associated with worse visual acuity and higher complication risks.
