Abstract. Purpose:To report the outcome of vitreous surgery for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment using either air or sulfur hexafluoride for tamponade. Cases and Method:This prospective study was made on 60 eyes of 58 cases who received vitreous surgery for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with the breaks located in the superior hemisphere. The age ranged from 41 to 77 years, average 59 years. Photocoagulation was applied to the retina around the break. As tamponade, 30 eyes received air and 30 eyes received sulfur fluoride. Patients remained in prone position for 36 hours after surgery, to be prolonged depending on the clinical findings. Results:After initial surgery, the retina became reattached in 30 eyes receiving air as tamponade and in 28 eyes receiving sulfur fluoride. There was no significant difference between the two groups. Visual acuity improved or remained unchanged in all the eyes of the two groups. Duration of prone positioning averaged 4.20±0.55 days in air-tamponade group and 8.23±0.90 days in the other. The difference was significant(p<0.01). Conclusion:There was no difference in rate of reattachment or postoperative visual acuity whether air or sulfur fluoride was used as tamponade substance. Duration of prone positioning was shorter when air was used as tamponade.
