ABSTRACT

To evaluate the clinical application value of perfluorotributylamine liquid (PFTL) made in China in the complicated retinal detachment. PFTL was injected into eyeball after vitreoretinal surgery, it could open funnel of retinal detachment, push subretinal fluid out from peripheral hole and flat and immobilize the posterior retinal during vitreoretinal surgery. In eyes with giant tears, PFTL could unfold and fix retinal flap. The retinas in all cases with giant tears were reattached, and sixty per cent in the eyes with PVR-D2-D3 reattached. In 8 eyes the visual acuity was improved. PFTL is valuable in treatment of complicated retinal detachment. It facilitates vitreoretinal surgery, obviates the potential complications.
