About the study

This study aims to determine if one day post-operative prone head positioning can be as good as seven days post-operative prone head positioning in patients with retinal detachments with inferior retinal breaks after pars that pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) using perfluoropropane (C3F8) gas as a tamponade. The investigator will conduct a single arm phase II study using a Simon's two-stage design

What is being tested

• Retina re-attachment repair using C3F8 gas tamponade (device)
