title: [Pneumatic retinopexy: 1 year experience].
abstract: We analyzed 13 consecutive cases od retinal detachment treated by pneumatic retinopexy (PR) as a primary method of surgery. The postoperative follow-up period was at least 6 months (mean, 9.9 months; maximum, 15 months). In 11 cases (84.6%) the retina successfully reattached after a single PR. In one case (7.7%) the retina was not reattached primarily because of a missed second tear and in one case (7.7%) the retina redetached due to proliferative vitreoretinopathy. A final reattachment rate of 100% was achieved. The final visual acuity from 0.7 to 1.0 in 10 patients (76.9%) illustrates the fact that PR is a suitable method of surgery in indicated cases of retinal detachment.
