Dellen formation as a complication of subconjunctival silicone oil following microincision vitrectomy

چکیده
Purpose To study the subconjunctival silicone oil (SCSO) parameters associated with dellen formation following microincision vitrectomy (MIV). Patients and methods This was a case-control study of 20 eyes with SCSO following MIV. Ten of them suffered postoperative dellen formation. Dellen occurrence, their sizes, number of loci, and distance between SCSO and the limbus were recorded. The outcome after silicone-oil removal was evaluated. Results The SCSO was at 3.1±1.2 mm from the limbus. All cases with dellen had SCSO within 2 mm of the limbus (P<0.001). No other factors were found to be associated with dellen formation (age, P=0.414; sex, P=0.656; laterality, P=1; indication for pars plana vitrectomy, P=0.655; instrument gauge, P=0.211; circumference involved by SCSO, P=0.252). All the dellen healed after surgical evacuation of SCSO (P<0.001), leaving scars. Conclusion Dellen can be associated with MIV secondary to SCSO near the limbus. Resolution with scarring occurred following SCSO evacuation. Therefore, SCSO should be evacuated as early as possible to avoid long-term peripheral corneal morbidity.

A 30-year-old male, who underwent previous pars plana vitrectomy and silicone oil tamponade due to endogenous endophthalmitis originated from Klebsiella liver abscess, was referred for evisceration. At 2 months after vitrectomy with silicon oil tamponade, conjunctival chemosis and ocular pain were aggravated. Diffuse eyelid swelling and large subconjunctival mass with lipid droplets were noted....

BACKGROUND Characteristic complications have been reported for transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy, such as postoperative sclerotomy leakage and postoperative hypotony. Particular attention to sclerotomy closure is required in cases of silicone oil tamponade, because postoperative supplementation of silicone oil implies reoperation, whereas postoperative supplement of gas is comparatively e...

We measured the tamponading effect of silicone oil, saline and air after vitrectomy, on intraocular pressure and aqueous humor outflow in 85 patients with highly proliferative retina and vitreous changes. Silicone oil as retinal tamponading agent after vitrectomy was used in 45 patients, and saline or air in 39 patients. The mean intraocular pressure measured at one month after treatment was gr...

Results: Th e mean age of the patients was 56.3 years (range: 22-73). Overall, the mean preoperative best-corrected visual acuity was 20/800, and the fi nal mean postoperative best-corrected visual acuity at the 12-month visit was 20/160. Th e overall rate of eyes having an increased best-corrected visual acuity was 75.4% at month 12. Subconjunctival haemorrhage was observed in 7 eyes (13.2%), ...

PURPOSE To verify the utility and preliminary safety of a 20-gauge silicone cannula for use with 20-gauge horizontal scissors delamination during microincision vitrectomy surgery (MIVS). METHODS Thirty-eight eyes in 35 consecutive patients with diabetic tractional retinal detachment, who underwent MIVS between April 2010 and March 2012 and were followed for 3-24 months, were retrospectively a...
