And Chemical Properties

Silicone oils are polymer structures including siloxane repeats in the center. Copolymers formed by combining these polymers at different ratios constitute different silicone structures with different physical and chemical properties. The presence of several factors such as trauma, giant retinal tear, proliferative vitreoretinopathy and retinal tear in posterior localization is the main medical indications for the use of silicone oils in the surgery of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Problems associated with the need for a second surgical intervention to remove silicone oil, the emulsification of silicone oil with the problem this emulsification, and the presence of foreign structure in eye globe are the most important conditions limiting the use of silicone oil.

Purpose: To describe the excellent outcome of surgery for bilateral giant retinal tears (GRTs) with better options of endotamponade. Methods: This is a case report of a 62-year-old man who presented with bilateral GRTs and associated retinal detachment. The tear in the right eye was supero-temporal and silicone oil was used as an endotamponade. The tear in the left eye was infero-temporal and perfluorocarbon liquid was used as an endotamponade. Results: The outcome at 6 months after surgery was excellent with visual acuities of 6/6 in both eyes. Conclusion: Improved availability of endotamponade agents allows repair of bilateral GRTs to be done at the same time, with good surgical outcomes.

Purpose To identify prognostic factors for visual acuity and anatomic outcomes associated with giant retinal tear management using intraoperative perfluorocarbon liquids. Methods All patients with giant retinal tears without proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) who underwent management with intraoperative perfluorocarbon liquids between 1994 and 2005 were re-viewed. Results The study included 115 patients (117 eyes), 93 (80.9%) males and 22 (19.1%) females, with a mean age of 30.3±15.2 years. Mean follow-up period was 29.7±26.7 months. Success rate with primary procedure was 78.6%, which increased to 94% with multiple surgeries. On univariate analysis, factors significantly associated with final visual acuity better than 20/200 included phakic/clear lens at presentation (p=0.0113), partial retinal detachment (p=0.0233), absence of all postoperative complications (p=0.0122), absence of recurrent retinal detachment (p=0.0406), and absence of postoperative PVR (p=0.0062). Logistic regression analysis highlighted that phakic/clear lens at presentation, unfolded flap of the giant tear, absence of postoperative cataract, and absence of post-operative PVR were associated with final visual acuity better than 20/200. On univariate analysis, use of gas tamponade was significantly associated with recurrent retinal detachment (p=0.0190). Logistic regression analysis highlighted that placement of an encircling scleral buckle and use of silicone oil tamponade were associated with anatomic reattachment with primary procedure. Conclusions Encircling scleral buckling and silicone oil tamponade decrease the risk of recurrent retinal detachment.
