Summary

To compare, through a randomized, multicenter surgical trial, the postoperative tamponade effectiveness of intraocular silicone oil with that of an intraocular long-acting gas (initially sulfur hexafluoride \[SF 6 \], later perfluoropropane \[C 3 F 8 \]) for the management of retinal detachment complicated by proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR), using vitrectomy and associated techniques.

To evaluate the ocular complications that result from the use of silicone oil and gas.
