Despite improvements in vitreoretinal surgery techniques, rhegmatogenous retinal detachment is still one of the major causes of visual loss in the world. Pneumatic retinopexy (PR), scleral buckle, and pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) are the modalities that are used in the treatment of retinal detachment. Intraocular gases, which are frequently used in PR and PPV, are indispensable molecules due to their tamponade effects. In order to get favorable postoperative outcomes, the proper type of gas selection should be made by considering the properties of the gases, indications, potential complications, and findings of the patients together.
