Abstract: 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. Conclusion-While reattachment and complication rates were quite similar to other studies, a better visual outcome was achieved in… Show more

“…Others have found that 20% of these will have a recurrence of retinal detachment. [7][8][9] Other relevant studies with the exception of that of Sullivan et al 1 relate to buckling surgery from the early 1980s and conventional surgery was used in 101 of 153 (66%) of Sullivan's patients. In our study conventional surgery was used in only 30%.…”

“…Vitreoretinal proliferation occurs more frequently in the inferior quadrants, as cells gather in the watery space between the retina and the oil bubble due to the gravity. [5][6][7][8][9] Therefore, there may be a specific role for tamponade agents with a specific gravity higher than that of water. Several heavier-than-water fluorinated silicone oils have been evaluated for intraocular use.…”

“…Five of these were performed at the time of initial silicone oil insertion, 14 were performed at a secondary procedure with oil reinsertion. Mean number of retinal operations before oil removal was 1.8 (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6).…”

“…However, redetachment after oil removal is a leading cause of vision loss in these patients and may occur in 9-29%. [2][3][4][5][6] Often the operation is performed without intraoperative retinal examination with detection of the retinal redetachment at the postoperative visits when PVR may have already developed obscuring the initial reason for the redetachment. Therefore, it is appropriate to re-examine the retina immediately after the removal of the oil while the patient is undergoing surgery thereby allowing identification of any potential causes for redetachment and allow early intervention.…”
