Abstract:
Objective To observe the therapeutic effect and safety of heavy silicone oil used as internal tamponade to treat complicated retinal detachment. Methods Retrospective 15 patients ( 15 eyes)with complicated retinal detachment, whose retinal detachment arising from inferior retinal tears. Heavy silicone oil was applied to patients during vitrectomy. Results The mean follow-up was (4.20 ± 1.62)months. Retinal reattachment and holes were closed in 15 cases. Conclusions The study shows that heavy silicone oil tamponade is effective to treat complicated retinal detachment and relatively few complications.However, its emulsification period is relatively short, which may constrain its application to a certain extent.
