Vitreo Retinal Prefilled
Silicone Oil Syringe is indicated for use as a prolonged retinal tamponade in selected cases of complicated retinal detachments.
After analysis of Tables 1 and 2, the dielectric behavior of the EVA porous films charged in
silicone oil seems to be more stable than EVA films charged into the air.
Removal of
silicone oil at the time of surgery was done only in cases where oil had emulsified.
Previous studies have shown that marked posterior capsular fibrosis or plaques were quite common in
silicone oil filled eyes.
A bubble of gas or
silicone oil, depending on how the retina behaves during surgery, is then injected into eye to act as a 'splint' to hold the retina in position until healing takes place.
Our study revealed almost similar results except in patients with
silicone oil tamponade.
For safety reasons,
silicone oil having a flash point exceeding 100[degrees]C (212[degrees]F) was selected.
Other additional steps include the use of
silicone oil tamponade [16], autologous platelets implantation [17, 18] to the most recent techniques such as the inverted ILM flaps [19-21].
We analyzed data including age, patients' gender, laterality of the procedure, refractive error, preoperative intraocular pressure (IOP), preoperative and postoperative decimal best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), extent of retinal detachment, initial anatomical success rate, final anatomical success rate, intraoperative and postoperative complications, and duration of
silicone oil filling.
The tumor was completely excised with
silicone oil tamponade.
Silicone oil is currently used as a replacement for the vitreous during vitreoretinal surgeries, especially in complicated conditions such as retinal detachment (RD) with giant tears, proliferative vitreoretinopathy, trauma, and endophthalmitis.
