Densiron 68 appeared to be an efficient endotamponade agent in selected retinal detachments treated with large inferior retinectomy. It avoids fluid accumulation under the inferior retina and seems to limit the rate of inferior retinectomy reopening.
Medium-chain triglycerides did not induce morphologic evidence of retinal toxicity. The results suggest that medium-chain triglycerides could be a promising alternative intraocular tamponading agent for the treatment of retinal detachments.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
