title: [The application of perfluoroethane made in China for treatment of retinal detachment].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate perfluoroethane in the treatment of retinal detachment.
  
  
  METHODS
  Various percentages of perfluoroethane were used and combined with routine scleral buckling and/or vitrectomy to treat 100 cases of retinal detachment.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The reattachment rate of retinal detachment was up to 76.0% after 2 to 14 months of follow-up.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Perfluoroethane is a safe, reliable and middle-effective intraocular gas tamponade.
