A method to decrease the frequency of unintentional slippage after vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.

Purpose: To investigate a method for preventing retinal slippage after standard vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.

Methods: Eighty six eyes with bullous rhegmatogenous retinal detachment underwent successful standard vitrectomy. Patients were divided into 2 groups.

Unintentional displacement of the retina after standard vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.

Objective: To study unintentional displacement of the retina after standard vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD).

Design: Prospective interventional case series.

Participants: Forty-three eyes of 43 consecutive patients with cystic RRD involving 1 or more quadrants underwent successful standard vitrectomy with 20% sulfur hexafluoride gas injection.
