Statistically controlled studies substantiating the current widespread acceptance of intravitreal air injection as an adjunct to traditional or standard scleral buckling techniques in the repair of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment are unavailable. The surgical success rate of a prospectively chosen group of patients who received intravitreal air was compared with that of a retrospectively chosen but comparable group of patients who did not receive air injection in their detachment repair. The 100% retinal reattachment rate in the air group at six weeks was found to be statistically significant for comparable configurations of retinal detachment and superiorly located breaks in patients without significant proliferative vitreoretinopathy.
目前缺乏统计学对照研究来证实玻璃体内注入空气作为传统或标准巩膜扣带术辅助手段用于治疗孔源性视网膜脱离已被广泛接受这一现状。将一组前瞻性选择的接受玻璃体内注气的患者的手术成功率，与一组回顾性选择但情况相当、在视网膜脱离修复术中未接受注气的患者的手术成功率进行了比较。对于视网膜脱离情况相当且上方有裂孔、无明显增殖性玻璃体视网膜病变的患者，发现注气组六周时100%的视网膜复位率具有统计学意义。
