Abstract
Surgical treatment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with an inferior break remains a challenge for ophthalmic surgeons. When using silicone tamponade, complications can develop, such as increased intraocular pressure and emulsification of silicone. In recent years, tamponade of the vitreous cavity with a gas-air mixture has been actively used, however, not all patients can observe the forced position face down, and the tamponade itself is not long-term. Purpose. The authors proposed a method for the treatment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with an inferior break using a combined tamponade with a gas-air mixture and viscoelastic based on sodium hyaluronate. Material and methods. A clinical observation of a patient successfully operated on with the use of the specified combined tamponade is presented. A detailed description of a new surgical technique is presented, which allows achieving a higher anatomical and functional results. Conclusion. To confirm the effectiveness and safety of the proposed method, further studies on a group of patients are needed. Key words: rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, inferior break, gas-air tamponade, tamponade with viscoelastic, sodium hyalur onate
