Abstract:
Although the surgical treatment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment has advanced, there still is a significant risk of redetachment and a slow visual rehabilitation due to the use of endotamponades. Hydrophobic tamponades act via a buoyancy vector causing an accumulation of proinflammatory cytokines opposite the buoyancy vector. So far, the use of hydrophilic endotamponades is very promising because they represent a possible solution for the abovementioned problems of surgical ablation. This article presents the current developments in this field.
