Silicone assisted, argon laser confinement of recurrent proliferative vitreoretinopathy related retinal detachment: a technique to allow silicone oil removal in problem eyes.
AIMS/BACKGROUND Recurrent peripheral retinal detachments may occur in eyes treated with vitrectomy and silicone oil for retinal detachments complicated by proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR). The aim of this study was to assess whether laser photocoagulation could be used in the presence of silicone oil to confine and stabilise recurrent PVR related peripheral retinal detachments enabling the...

متن کاملOutcome after silicone oil removal.
BACKGROUND Combined with vitreoretinal surgery, silicone oil injection has become a standard technique and improves the prognosis of complex retinal detachment. As silicone oil leads to long term complications, removal of silicone oil from the eye is recommended. To evaluate the outcome after silicone oil removal, retinal redetachment, visual acuity, and complications were analysed. METHODS T...
متن کاملA guide to the removal of heavy silicone oil.
AIM Heavy silicone oil removal can be challenging and differs considerably from conventional oil. Traditionally, strong active aspiration had to be applied through a long 18G needle just above the optic disc. We present a novel technique using a much shorter (7.5 mm) and smaller (20G) needle allowing its removal "from a distance." METHOD Active aspiration on a vacuum of 600 mm Hg of the "visc...
متن کاملRemoval of silicone oil following diabetic vitrectomy.
The outcome of the removal of silicone oil from previously vitrectomised diabetic eyes was studied in a series of 25 eyes in 24 patients. Originally the patients presented with complex retinal detachments associated with proliferative diabetic retinopathy and all had reattached retinas after the initial operation. During the silicone tamponade, a number of complications had occurred. Cataract h...
