What is In retinal sealing/retinopexy, what is used? and explain in detail?
The gases commonly employed for tamponading the retina are sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) or perfluoropropane (C3F8). These are injected after sealing the breaks with cryopaxy. The gas bubble remains in contact with the tear for 5-7 days and are absorbed later. Ref: Parson's 22 nd edition page no. 335
