[Endothelial involvement of injection of silicone into the vitreous body].
Intraocular silicone oil tamponade is used as an adjunct to vitrectomy in the treatment of proliferative vitreoretinopathy. The authors analyzed the effect of silicone oil on the corneal endothelium in 28 patients (10 phakic and 18 aphakic). In the phakic group, the endothelial cellular loss is small, no significant. In the aphakic group, the endothelial cellular loss is 20%.
