Pneumatic Retinopexy for Retinal Detachment

Pneumatic retinopexy is a surgery to repair certain types of retinal detachments.

Before surgery, your eye is numbed with local anesthesia. Then the ophthalmologist injects a gas bubble into the middle of the eye. Your head is positioned so that the bubble floats to the detached area and presses against the detachment. The doctor then seals the tear in the retina using a freezing probe or laser beam.

The bubble helps to flatten the retina until a seal forms between the retina and the wall of the eye. This takes about 1 to 3 weeks. The eye slowly absorbs the gas bubble.
