“…Final anatomic success was achieved in all patients. Our rate of anatomic success is higher than that reported in the literature [6, 12, 13]. This observation may be related to refined surgical techniques and better equipments in recent years, e.g.…”

Of the 168 eyes undergoing silicone oil removal from 1993 to 2000, 34 developed retinal detachment after the removal of silicone oil. The management and the results of the 34 eyes were reviewed. Surgical procedures included pars plana vitrectomy, encircling band, cryocoagulation, endotamponade. Five of the 34 eyes had a second retinal detachment after these operations. One of these 5 eyes had a third retinal detachment. Final retinal reattachment was achieved in all eyes. Visual acuity decreased in 16 of the 34 eyes with retinal detachment, and 18 of the 34 eyes had a visual acuity of less than 0.02. These results show that surgery for retinal detachment after silicone oil removal yields a high rate of anatomic success, while the visual outcome is poor for a substantial number of patients.

Primary anatomical success rate of 33.3% was less encouraging than as expected. Especially, re-detachments within the posterior staphyloma in highly myopic patients were common during Densiron endotamponade. However, the surgical success increased to 75% after reintervention, even without the use of an additional encircling band. The observed adverse effects and the functional outcomes do not contraindicate the use of Densiron as an internal tamponade for a period of 3 months.

“…Jonas et al found that 93.4% ( 185 out of 198) patients with a secondary increase in IOP after silicone oil endotamponade had normalization of IOP after removal of the oil [24]. Flaxel et al reported that elevated IOP persisted in all eyes (62 eyes) after silicone oil removal [89].…”
