[Use of silicone oil for temporary tamponade in the treatment of retinal detachment with vitreoretinal retraction. 2. Aspects, prevention and treatment of complications].
A retrospective study of 36 cases of retinal detachment with vitreoretinal retraction, greatly improved immediately after intravitreal cavity injection of silicone was definitely responsible for two complications: cataract and chronic corneal edema. Their onset requires routine extraction of the silicone, recurrence of the retinal detachment developing in only 50% of cases. Used as a transient procedure, the injection of silicone into the vitreal cavity appears to be a relatively simple surgical procedure for detachments requiring prolonged internal tamponade.
