Abstract: An inferior retinal detachment has a frequency of 20% and is more difficult to treat than a superior detachment. Why? Because gas and silicone oil tamponade insufficiently the inferior pole. An exception is the heavy silicone oil Densiron 68 which tamponades the inferior pole. If you do not have Densiron 68 in your surgical cupboard, then you require episcleral buckling with encircling band and/or segmental buckle in your surgical armamentarium.
