“…49% of the cases refused to repeat the experience of face down positioning if another surgery is mandatory. Many efforts have been made to decrease physical and psychological burdens during FDP such as; supporting devices [ 13 – 15 ], spectacle mounted prisms [ 16 ], and body message [ 17 ]. On the contrary, no special devices are needed during FUP and the position can be maintained easily during sleep.…”

Background To evaluate the effectiveness of face up position (FUP) following pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and silicone oil injection in cases of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) with multiple peripheral and inferior breaks. Method Thirty-two eyes of 32 patients with RRD due to multiple peripheral breaks were managed with PPV and silicone oil as endotamponade. Postoperatively, all patients were instructed to assume face up (supine) position for at least 10 days. Silicone oil was removed 3 to 6 months postoperatively in eyes with attached retina and the patients were followed up for 6 months. Results Thirty eyes (94%) got a successful attachment of the retina and remained attached after silicone oil removal. One case showed lower redetachment under silicone oil while the other case showed recurrent RRD after silicone oil removal. Conclusion Although postoperative FUP is not a popular one, it is effective in the treatment of RRD with peripheral breaks whatever the number or the distribution of these breaks. This may in some way or another change the traditional trends of postoperative positioning after vitrectomy for RRD.

<P> A care system to maintain a comfortable prone position after vitreoretinal surgery was developed. Four positions and face-down gear including a TV-watching table were prepared in patients’ rooms. Patients could take one position and then change to another position actively as desired. Thirty-nine patients used this system for 4 days after vitreoretinal surgery with intravitreal gas injection. Patients rated the system on a questionnaire. Patients who used the TV-watching table expressed more satisfaction than the patients who did not use it. Also, patients’ active selection of various prone postures was important physically and mentally.
