Fig. 6.124 A large buckle placed peripherally has been associated with the formation of a subretinal haemorrhage which is tracked down to the macula. This has severely restricted the visual recovery in this patient
Fluid vitreous loss: Close the sclerotomy and inject air into the vitreous cavity.
Retinal tear: Include on the indent. Hypotony: Inject air into the vitreous cavity. Air injection
Injury to lens: Leave for later cataract extraction. Air in the wrong place:
•Anteriorchamber–Removeiftheprocedureisnotcompleted, otherwise leave to dissipate postoperatively.
•Anterior to the vitreous producing a doughnut air injection – Leave in place.
•Subretinal or suprachoroidal air – Very rare, you may need to convert to a PPV to remove.
Fish egging of the air (multiple separate bubbles of gas):
Proceed with surgery but with reduce visualisation.
Raised intraocular pressur: Perform anterior chamber paracentesis to remove some aqueous.
6.3.6Pneumatic Retinopexy
Successful reattachment of the retina can be achieved by injection of gas and retinopexy without PPV (Hilton and Grizzard 1986) especially with single superior breaks in the presence of a posterior vitreous detachment. However, the success rates are lower than other methods approximately 65 % reattachment with one procedure (McAllister et al. 1988; Han et al. 1998), and there is the risk of inducing new inferior retinal breaks (Poliner et al. 1987). Even in the best hands and with selection of easy cases (1–2 breaks), the success rate is 80 % (Mudvari et al. 2009) probably 10 % less than the expected success rate from PPV on the same cases. For these reasons, I only use this in special circumstances such as a patient who is unfit to attend more extensive surgery. As an office procedure, the method can show improved visual recovery over scleral buckling especially if strict criteria are applied to treat superior RRD with small retinal breaks and no PVR (Tornambe and Hilton 1989; Tornambe et al. 1991).

6.3.6.1 Surgical Steps
•Apply cryotherapy via scleral indentation with the cryotherapy probe to the break.
•Inject 100 % SF6 0.5 ml via the pars plana with a 30-G needle.
•Remove some aqueous via a paracentesis to equalise the IOP.
Apply head posturing by the patient in the first few days
so that the gas bubble contacts the break or breaks, and monitor the patient daily to ensure retinal reattachment and no IOP rises. Be careful that SRF is not pushed into the fovea in a macula on RRD. If this is a risk, start the patient off with face-down posture gradually rotating to upright over a few hours to push SRF through the break before it is closed by the gas.
6.3.6.2 Complications
•New retinal break formation in the inferior retina causing redetachment.
•Missed or new retinal breaks are the commonest cause (75 %) of redetachment.
•IOP rises.
6.4Success Rates
Primary (flat retina after one operation) and secondary (flat retina after multiple operations) success rates depend in particular on the case mix of patients, rates of PVR at presentation and speed of access to surgery.
Primary Eighty one to ninty two percent in uncomplicated cases (Ah-Fat et al. 1999; Campo et al. 1999; Girard and
