          Abstract

          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.

          Retinal redetachment after removal of intraocular silicone oil tamponade.

          Mark R. Rank, Roland Knorr, Mark W Budde … (2001)
          To evaluate frequency and risk factors of retinal redetachment after removal of intraocular silicone oil tamponade. The study included 225 patients who consecutively underwent intraocular silicone oil removal at a mean interval of 10 months after pars plana vitrectomy had been performed by one of two surgeons. Mean follow up time was 17.37 (SD 14.40) months (range 3.02-67.42 months). In 57 of 225 (25.3%) patients, the retina detached after removal of silicone oil. Risk factors for retinal redetachment were the following: number of previously unsuccessful retinal detachment surgeries (p=0.0008); surgeon (p=0.007); visual acuity before silicone oil removal (p=0.009); incomplete removal of vitreous base (p=0.01); absence of an encircling band in eyes with proliferate vitreoretinopathy in which an inferior retinotomy had not been performed (p=0.01); and indication for pars plana vitrectomy. Rate of retinal redetachment was statistically (p>0.05) independent of the technique of silicone oil removal and duration of silicone oil endotamponade. Retinal redetachment after removal of silicone oil endotamponade can occur in approximately a fourth of patients, depending on the criteria to use and to remove silicone oil. Risk factors for recurrent detachment included the following: number of previously unsuccessful retinal detachment surgeries, surgeon, preoperative visual acuity, incomplete removal of the vitreous base, absence of an encircling band, and reason for pars plana vitrectomy. The rate of retinal redetachment is independent of the technique of silicone oil removal and duration of silicone oil endotamponade, with a minimal duration of silicone oil tamponade of about 3 months in the present study.

            Timing of retinal redetachment after removal of intraocular silicone oil tamponade.

            Jost Jonas, Wido Budde, Harald L.J. Knorr (1999)
            To evaluate the interval between removal of intraocular silicone oil tamponade and retinal redetachment after pars plana vitrectomy, and to investigate factors influencing the length of the interval. The retrospective study included 42 eyes of 42 consecutive patients who experienced a retinal redetachment after silicone oil had been removed 8.0+/-6.2 months after an initial pars plana vitrectomy including intraocular silicone oil (5,000 centistokes) tamponade. Pars plana vitrectomy had been performed for proliferative vitreoretinopathy caused by complicated rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. The retina redetached 2 days to 5.5 months after silicone oil removal (mean +/- SD, 1.3+/-1.4 months; median, 18 days). Thirteen (30%) of all 42 redetachments occurred in the first 9 days, 21 (50%) of all 42 retinal redetachments occurred in the first 18 days, and 32 (75%) of all 42 retinal redetachments occurred in the first 50 days. The interval between silicone oil removal and retinal redetachment was statistically (by analysis of variance) independent of the method of silicone removal (transpupillary drainage vs via pars plana sclerotomies), refractive error of the eye (P = .62), time between initial pars plana vitrectomy and silicone oil removal (P = .99), visual acuity before silicone oil removal (P = .26), type of anesthesia (P = .69), gender (P = .80), and age (P = .48) of the patients. The risk of retinal redetachment decreases steeply with increasing time after silicone oil removal. Three to 5 months after oil removal, retinal redetachment becomes unlikely. The time of retinal redetachment is statistically independent of the method of silicone oil removal, refractive error, time between the preceding pars plana vitrectomy and silicone oil removal, visual acuity before silicone oil removal, type of anesthesia, and gender and age of the patents. These data may be important for scheduling reexaminations and for counseling patients in their planned activities after removal of intraocular silicone oil tamponade.
