title: [Liquid perfluorocarbon in treatment of giant tears].
abstract: In 20 cases of giant tears with considerable proliferative changes, vitreoretinal silicone-oil-surgery was performed. With liquid perfluorocarbon, the involuted retina could easily be fixed during the operation in its former position without difficulties, before silicone oil as a permanent tamponade was used. The good results prove that more invasive manipulations, which were formerly necessary, become superfluous using this method.
