We evaluated the use of a heavier-than-water fluorinated silicone oil in the treatment of 30 selected cases of complicated retinal detachment from January 1988 to July 1989. Proliferative vitreoretinopathy grade C-2 or greater accounted for 19 cases, proliferative diabetic retinopathy with traction detachment for two cases, giant retinal tears five, ruptured globe with retinal detachment two, m...

eurpaSe To analyse anatomical and functional results of retinal detachment swery in cases complicated by proliferative vitreoretinopatby in childhood. M&Q& Thirty six consecutive cases of retinal detachment complicated by PVR stages Cl and more in childhood were analysed retrospectively. All the cases associated scleral buckling, pars plana vitrectomy, complete membrane peeling, injection of li...

the purpose of this study was to compare the anatomic and visual outcome of primary vitrectomy with scleral buckling in patients with retinal detachment following cataract surgery. fifty-six consecutive patients with retinal detachment after cataract surgery were randomly assigned to two treatment groups: standard scleral buckling and standard three-port deep vitrectomy. successful treatment wa...

M We have prospectively analqsed the feasibility and advantages of local anesthesia in surgical management of advanced proliferative vitreoretinopathy in retinal detachment (RD). M&Q& Peribulbar anesthesia (PBA) was used in 20 consecutive cases operated for RD. All the pateints requiered s&rat buckling, pars plana vitrectomy, complete membrane removal, endophotocoagulation and internal tamponad...

Case series A case note review identified 11 eyes of eight consecutive patients with Terson’s syndrome (age range 27–56 years, M:F = 1:1) referred to the West of England Eye Unit between 1996 and 2004. Surgery was performed for non-resolving vitreous haemorrhage 1– 6 months from date of referral. Ten eyes had three port pars plana vitrectomy and one eye had combined phacovitrectomy. Table 1 sum...

purpose: to compare the safety, efficacy, and visual results of laser in situ keratomileusis (lasik) in eyes with and without previous scleral buckling surgery in the same individuals. methods: in a prospective clinical trial, 14 eyes of 7 patients with myopic refractive error and history of scleral buckling in one eye, underwent lasik surgery in both eyes according to a standard surgical proto...

purpose: to present a case of bilateral idiopathic central serous chorioretinopthy (icsc) complicated by bullous serous retinal detachment (rd). case report: a 26-year old female suffered from acute loss of vision in the both eyes. best spectacle-corrected visual acuity was 1/10 ou. the examination of anterior segment was unremarkable and a mild vitreous reaction was noted. dilated fundus exami...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of pneumatic retinopexy as an initial management of retinal detachment associated with hypotony, severe choroidal detachment, and vitritis. METHODS Retrospective, interventional, noncomparative case series. We included nine eyes from nine patients (six women and three men) with retinal detachment associated with hypotony, severe choro...

m: Silicone/fluomsilicone copolymer oii (SiFO) is a polysiloxane derivative potentially us&d as mtraoperative tool and long term retinal tatnponade agent. SiFO is characterized by higher-than-water density and low viscosity; its intraocular tolerance in rabbits up to two months is siroilra to that of silicone oil. &j&t&. SiFO was used in 9 eyes with complicated retinal detachment. Five patients...
