[Domestic silicone oil, removal and complications]
1Department of Ophthalmology, Eye and ENT Hospital, Shanghai Medical University.
Objective:
To master the optimal time of domestic silicone oil (DSiO) removal after vitreoretinal surgery and to observe the complications after it removal.
Methods:
DSiO removal was performed through a superior corneoscleral limbus or pars plana incision in 64 cases.
Results:
The rate of the attached retina was 85.5% after DSiO removal. The visual acuity was improved or unchanged in 53 cases (82.8%). In 27 cases followed up postoperatively for an average of 11.6 months, the retina remained attached in 18 cases (66.7%). The postoperative complications included retinal redetachment in 12 cases and intraocular hemorrhage in 4 cases.
Conclusion:
3-6 months after operation is the best time for removing DSiO when retinal tears are healed and DSiO is not emulsified.
