“…This is similar to the results of other authors: in the Silicone Study Report 6 (1994), 59% of the detachments occurred within the first three months; Nawrocki et al (1993): 77.8% of detachments within the first months postoperatively, no detachment after 9 months; Franks & Leaver (1991): 81% within 6 months; Zilis et al (1989): all detachments within 8 weeks. The reason for the rapidity of the detachment could be residual or new traction that had been counteracted by the oil before its removal, especially in the anterior vitreous with reopening of preexisting breaks or formation of new retinal breaks.…”

“…It is known that silicone oil removal carries a certain risk of postoperative retinal detachment (McCuen 1985;Federman & Schubert 1988;Zilis et al 1989;Gonvers 1990;Hö ing et al 1991;Franks & Leaver 1991;Silicone Study Group 1994;Bodanowitz 1996). However, thorough analysis of this complication has rarely been performed.…”

“…Complications after silicone oil removal include retinal detachment, which can worsen the otherwise favourable prognosis of this procedure. Although there are some studies about silicone oil removal Hö ing et al 1991;Nawrocki et al 1993;Silicone Study Group 1994;Pavlovic et al 1995) and retinal detachment after oil removal Zilis 1989;Franks & Leaver 1991;Silicone Study Group 1994;Bodanowitz et al 1996), thorough analysis of this complication has rarely been performed. Furthermore, to the best of our knowledge, no analysis of risk factors for a retinal detachment after silicone oil removal has been done so far.…”

ABSTRACT.Purpose: To evaluate the causes of retinal detachment after silicone oil removal, to define possible risk factors and the anatomical and functional prognosis of this complication. Methods: 112 eyes that underwent silicone oil removal were included. The group of eyes with retinal detachment after oil removal (18/112 eyes, 16.1%) was compared with the group with no postoperative retinal detachment. Results: The most common cause for retinal detachment after oil removal was anterior PVR (77.8%). Initial PVR detachment, advanced PVR stages, anterior PVR, more preceding operations, aphakia/pseudophakia, myopia and shorter duration of the oil tamponade were significantly more represented in the group of eyes with retinal detachment after oil removal. The prognosis of retinal detachment after oil removal is poor. Conclusion: Some criteria could be regarded as risk factors for retinal detachment after silicone oil removal. Improvement of the results should be possible by considering these factors and by control of reproliferations.

“…6,[9][10][11][12][13] It is, however, generally accepted that where possible prompt removal of silicone oil will minimise its potential ocular side effects. This is not always desirable because of the risk of redetachment which has been reported in up to one in three patients 9 particularly those with complex previous vitreoretinal pathology.…”

Aims/background To analyse the effectiveness and safety of cyclodiode treatment in eyes with silicone oil-related raised intraocular pressure (IOP) and to correlate the results with clinical features of treated eyes. Methods Retrospective review of case notes of all eyes that underwent cyclodiode treatment following injection of silicone oil at Moorfields Eye Hospital between April 1993 and January 2003 and were followed up for at least 1 year. Results In all, 38 patients were followed up for between 13 and 113 months. Totally, 17 had silicone oil in situ at the time of first treatment. The mean pretreatment IOP was 31.4 mmHg (SD 10.9), reducing to 18.6 mmHg (SD 8.6) at 1 year and to 13.9 mmHg (SD 8.4) at the final follow-up visit (Po0.001). Before treatment, 28 (73.7%) patients were on two or more topical medications. This was reduced to 18 (47.4%) patients (P ¼ 0.013) at 1 year and 13 (34.2%) patients (P ¼ 0.0007) at final follow-up. Use of oral acetazolamide for glaucoma was reduced from 16 (42.1%) patients precyclodiode to five (13.2%) patients at 1 year (P ¼ 0.0034) and three (7.9%) patients at the final visit (P ¼ 0.001). Four patients (10.5%) at 1 year and five patients (13.2%) at the final visit had hypotony (defined as IOP of less than 5 mmHg). One patient had enucleation 75 months following first cyclodiode treatment. Conclusion Diode laser photocoagulation can successfully control silicone oil-induced raised intraocular pressure where medical treatment fails. Reduction of IOP appears to be maintained long term.

“…After successful surgery with silicone oil instillation, the oil is removed from the eye in selected cases after a certain time to avoid oil associated complications like cataract, glaucoma, keratopathy and, eventually, reproliferations. However, these complications are often reported after silicone oil removal , Franks and Leaver 1991, Lucke et al 1990, Nawrocki et al 1993, Silicone Study Group 1994. One possible reason for the occurrence of these complications after oil removal could be a small amount of oil remaining in the eye.…”
