Tamponade in surgery for retinal detachment associated with proliferative vitreoretinopathy

Abstract

Background-Retinal detachment (RD) with proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) often requires surgery to restore normal anatomy and to stabilize or improve vision. PVR usually occurs in association with recurrent RD (that is, after initial retinal re-attachment surgery) but occasionally may be associated with primary RD. Either way, a tamponade agent (gas or silicone oil) is needed during surgery to reduce the rate of postoperative recurrent RD.Objectives-The objective of this review was to assess the relative safety and effectiveness of various tamponade agents used with surgery for retinal detachment (RD) complicated by proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR).Search methods-We searched CENTRAL (which contains the Cochrane Eyes and Vision Group Trials Register) (

Vitrectomy combined with endolaser or an encircling scleral buckle in primary retinal detachment surgery: a pilot study

“…These findings are in contrast to a systematic review on various intraocular tamponades in PVR associated RD surgery as they did not find any major differences in outcomes between gas and silicone oil tamponades (Schwartz et al. ).…”

“…In literature, patients after silicone oil tamponade were found to have a diminished visual outcome due to a significant thinning of the inner retinal layers (Christensen & la Cour 2012). These findings are in contrast to a systematic review on various intraocular tamponades in PVR associated RD surgery as they did not find any major differences in outcomes between gas and silicone oil tamponades (Schwartz et al 2009).…”

Complications associated with the use of silicone oil in vitreoretinal surgery: A systemic review and meta‐analysis

“…The risk of RRD was statistically significant lower in the SO group than in the other tamponades. This result was different from that reported by recent meta-analysis by Feng et al (2017) and Schwartz et al (2014). We supposed that the difference might be attributable to a larger number of studies (22 studies) included in the analysis and the underlying causes for RD.…”

In Vitro Biocompatibility of Silicone Oil Siluron Xtra® on Porcine Retina in a Perfusion Culture System

“…As verified in previous studies, the use of silicone oil has been successfully applied in the treatment of difficult retinal detachment, showing good anatomical results, improved vision and reduced metamorphopsia in patients [3,5,6]. …”
