Efficacy of the use of perfluorocarbon as a temporary tamponade agent in severe ocular trauma and/or complex retinopexy: a scoping review.

PFC as a short-term tamponade had high rates of reapplication, improved VA, and the most frequent adverse effects were reversible after PFC withdrawal. Nonetheless, the quality of the studies was poor. Studies with more rigorous methodologies are needed to determine visual and structural outcomes and potential risks of PFC use as a temporary tamponade in vitreoretinal surgery.
