(33) The microsphere delivery system is a thin, heat-denatured shell that contains encapsulated air,
octafluoropropane (OFP) or other gases.
Other vitreoretinal surgical adjuncts used in our study were RS-OIL ECS Silicone oil 1.000 cS, GOT Multi SF6 - pure sulphur hexafluoride, GOT Multi C3F8 - pure
octafluoropropane gas and HPF10 high purity perfluorodecalin (AL.CHI.MI.A.
The following keywords were used in various combinations: retinal detachment, vitrectomy, intraocular gas, sulfur hexafluoride, S[F.sub.6], perfluoromethane, C[F.sub.4], perfluoroethane, hexafluoroethane, [C.sub.3][F.sub.6], perfluoropropane,
octafluoropropane, [C.sub.3][F.sub.8], and complications.
Other adjuncts used in these surgeries included GOT Multi SF6 - pure sulphur hexafluoride, GOT Multi C3F8 - pure
octafluoropropane gas, RS-OIL ECS Silicone oil 1.000 cS, TWIN 018 HD 0.18% trypan blue + 0.03% blulife, HPF10 high purity perfluorodecalin (AL.
Nonexpansile gases, such as 18% sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), 14%
octafluoropropane (C3F8), and room air, are commonly used as gas tamponade at the end of vitrectomy [1, 2].
All patients underwent an air/gas exchange with either 20% sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) for group A or 14%
octafluoropropane (C3F8) for group B as endotamponade agents.
