title: Comparison of Densiron 68 and 1 000 cSt silicone oil in the management of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with inferior breaks.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To compare success rates and complications of Densiron 68 and 1000cSt silicone oil (SO) in the management of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) with inferior breaks (IBs).
  
  
  METHODS
  Totally 61 eyes of 61 consecutive patients with RRD with IBs were assigned to pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with Densiron (n=31) or PPV with SO (n=30) in order of presentation. SO and Densiron removal was performed 3 months after initial surgery. Follow up visits were terminated 6 months after SO removal.
  
  
  RESULTS
  With a single operation, the Densiron group showed 84% and SO 74% reattachment. With further surgery, both groups showed 90% re-attachment. Complications such as cataract, raised intraocular pressure (IOP), inflammatory reaction, macular epiretinal membranes, and emulsification of SO were seen in both groups.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Densiron and SO are found to have similar success rates and complications.
