Pneumatic retinopexy is a procedure which can be utilized as an alternative to scleral buckling to repair retinal detachment. It offers the advantages of being less invasive and is easily performed under local anesthesia on an outpatient basis. We enjoyed an initial success rate of reattachment in five of six eyes with this procedure. One case experienced late redetachment, and a subsequent case experienced early redetachment from development of new retinal breaks. Six cases were successfully reattached in one or two procedures, and all cases were reattached in three procedures. All patients experienced stable or improved vision with pneumatic retinopexy.
气体视网膜固定术是一种可作为巩膜扣带术替代方法用于修复视网膜脱离的手术。它具有侵入性较小的优点，并且在局部麻醉下作为门诊手术很容易实施。我们采用此手术治疗的6只眼中有5只眼初次复位成功。1例出现晚期视网膜再脱离，随后1例因新的视网膜裂孔形成而出现早期视网膜再脱离。6例患者通过一或两次手术成功实现视网膜复位，所有病例均在三次手术内实现视网膜复位。所有接受气体视网膜固定术的患者视力均保持稳定或有所改善。
