title: Study on application of the silicone oil in the reattachment of complicated retinal detachment.
abstract: Sixty eyes with complicated retinal detachment were treated by vitrectomy combined with silicone oil tamponade (27 eyes of PVR grade D, 15 eyes of giant retinal tears with posterior flat folded-over, 13 eyes of posterior or macular hole, 5 eyes of traumatic PVR). After 3-24 months follow-up, the study showed retinal anatomic reattachment in 48 eyes in which the visual acuity of 32 eyes was 0.05 or better. The authors consider that vitrectomy and peeling make the silicone oil tamponade perfect the vitreous surgery and improve the successful rate. The theory of silicone oil tamponade, the indications, advantages and disadvantages of silicone oil tamponade are discussed in this paper.
