Pars Plana Vitrectomy Reoperation Without Removing Silicone Oil

Anatomical and Visual Outcomes After Two-Port Pars Plana Vitrectomy Reoperation Under Silicone Oil for Epimacular Membrane or Recurrent Retinal Detachment

“…As previously reported, 14,16,18 surgical tasks, such as membrane peeling, retinectomy, internal drainage of subretinal fluid, and photocoagulation, are easily performed under the oil interface. As previously reported, 14,16,18 surgical tasks, such as membrane peeling, retinectomy, internal drainage of subretinal fluid, and photocoagulation, are easily performed under the oil interface.…”

“…4,[9][10][11][12] Typically, a remove-and-replace approach is used when such cases undergo further attempts at surgical repair, or the SO is removed at the time of EMM removal. 15,17,18 Additional two-port techniques with a typical balanced salt solution infusion have been described. Recently, an infusion-free two-port vitrectomy revision technique in which surgical tasks are performed under indwelling oil has been described.…”

Outcomes of Vitrectomy Under Air for Idiopathic Macular Hole

“…Despite some difficulties and intraoperative complications during the learning curve of this technique, it seems equally safe and In the standard PPV technique, vitreous gel is removed and the intraocular contents are replaced with commercially available BSS. Performing vitreoretinal surgical manipulations at the interface between perfluorocarbon liquid, 10,11,12,13 silicone oil, 14,15,16,17 or air, 17,18,19,20,21,22 and residual vitreous, epiretinal membrane, and retina has been described as interface vitrectomy. 22 In 2005, Quiroz-Mercado et al 11 described a technique for vitrectomy using perfluorocarbon liquids as irrigation fluids for tractional and RRD.…”

“…The use of vitreous cutters and other instruments at the interface between perfluorocarbon liquid, 10,11,12,13 silicone oil, 14,15,16,17 or air, 17,18,19,20,21 and residual vitreous, epiretinal membrane, and retina has been described as interface vitrectomy. 22 These tamponading substances stabilize the vitreoretinal tissue because of their elevated surface tension and provide a more stable surgical field during removal of the vitreous.…”

Interface vitrectomy-a savior technique for vitreoretinal surgery

“…SOIL-assisted IFVresolves this matter. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] If IOL fogging develops, SOILis injected via the supero-temporal cannula while air exits from the vitreal cavityvia the superonasal cannula. When SOIL reaches the posterior surface of the IOL, the fogging on IOL disappears, and internal drainage of SRF, endo-laser and other interventions for VRSmay be performed "under SOIL".…”
