Efficacité de la rétinopexie pneumatique: 7 ans d'étude rétrospective

We describe the results of pneumatic retinopexy in the treatment of primary rhegmatogenous non traumatic retinal detachment in 63 patients with a follow-up of 6 months or more. We compare these results with those of other pneumatic retinopexy series and series of pneumatic retinopexy-eligible cases treated with alternative methods. We conclude that pneumatic retinopexy is a method of first choice in the treatment of a large number of retinal detachments, taking into account the final anatomic and functional success rate, the simplicity and cost-effectiveness of the technique, the patient comfort and very early functional rehabilitation.
