Purpose. To evaluate the efficacy of silicone oil (S.O) reinjection without macular buckling for treatment of recurrent myopic macular hole retinal detachment (MHRD) after silicone oil removal.Methods. A retrospective consecutive interventional study from medical reports on cases of myopic MHRD. Fifty-three eyes of 51 patients underwent silicone oil removal after successful repair of MHRD were reviewed. The main outcomes were the retinal status after silicone oil removal and management of recurrent cases.Results. The rate of recurrent RD (Re RD) after silicone oil removal was 11.3% (6 out of 53 eyes). One case refused any other interference. In the remaining 5 eyes, 4 eyes (80%) could be reattached by S.O re-injection and one eye (20%) developed Re RD after S.O re-injection. Range of followup after management of recurrence was 5–53 months (mean 18.7 months).Conclusions. This case series concluded that the risk factors for recurrent RD after silicone oil removal from cases of myopic MHRD were high myopia, open flat MH, and large posterior staphyloma. Revision of vitrectomy and S.O re-injection can reattach most of recurrent cases.

Purpose The goal of this study was to identify risk factors for redetachment and/or a worse visual outcome after silicone oil removal (SOR) for complicated retinal detachment. Methods The authors retrospectively analyzed 287 consecutive eyes with SOR between January 1999 and December 2003. Results Anatomic success after SOR was achieved in 81% of the eyes. The overall anatomic success at the end of follow-up was 94%. Postoperative ocular hypertension was found in 8% of the eyes, hypotony in 6% of the eyes, and keratopathy in 29% of the eyes. After SOR 43% of the eyes had an improvement in visual acuity of at least two Snellen lines. After multivariate analysis, male sex, the presence of preoperative rubeosis, and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) were found to be risk factors for recurrent retinal detachment. Male sex, preoperative visual acuity of <0.1 Snellen lines, PDR, the performance of three more operations, any size of retinectomy, and hypotony were found to be associated with a poor visual outcome of Snellen visual acuity <0.1. Conclusions Retinal detachment after SOR in the current unselected series of eyes occurred in approximately 20%, which is comparable to the Silicone Oil Study reports, published approximately 20 years ago. However, preoperative selection was then made, and less than 50% of the silicone oil-filled eyes had SOR. The higher overall anatomic success in the current study may be due to improved vitreoretinal surgical techniques.

Purpose: This retrospective study recorded intraoperative findings during silicone oil removal and postoperative anatomical outcomes comparing endoscopy-assisted pars plana vitrectomy (E-PPV) vs pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) alone after proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR)-related retinal detachment (RD) repair. Methods: This single-center retrospective study included patients who underwent PPV for silicone oil removal after RD with PVR from July 2009 to January 2017. Patients with diabetic tractional RD, history of trauma, uveitis, or endophthalmitis were excluded. After 2013, an endoscopic visualization system (E2 MicroProbe; Endo Optiks) was used in a nonrandomized fashion. Data collection included reattachment rate, intraoperative endoscopic findings and phthisis rate. Results: Fifty-four eyes of 54 patients were included. The mean participant age was 58.4 ± 12.9 years and 36 (65.5%) participants were male. The mean (± SD) follow-up duration after oil removal was 24.3 ± 20.1 months. E-PPV combined with wide-angle visualization system was performed in 26 (48.1%) of the patients; the surgical management was modified after endoscopic examination in 17 (65.4%) of the cases. Reattachment rate in the E-PPV group was 96.2% compared with 76.0% in the PPV-alone group ( P = .04). Conclusions: E-PPV for silicone oil removal appears to be advantageous for prevention of RD recurrence, thus achieving better reattachment rates. A thorough examination is facilitated by endoscopic visualization and contributory factors for anterior PVR can be identified and treated.

Abstract Background To investigate the long-term outcomes and complications of scleral-fixated intraocular lens (SFIOL) implantation without conjunctival peritomies and sclerotomy in patients with a history of ocular trauma with inadequate capsular support during primary pars plana vitrectomy or silicone oil removal. Methods Records of ocular trauma patients who underwent implantation of SFIOL without conjunctival peritomies and sclerotomy during primary pars plana vitrectomy or silicone oil removal. Results Sixty-nine eyes of 69 patients were included in this study. The median follow-up period was 34 months (range, 6-99 months). The average patient age at the time of surgery was 44 years old (range, 4-80 years). At the end of follow-up, the preoperative mean of best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 0.79 ± 0.86 log of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR), which improved 0.20 ± 0.26 logMAR postoperatively (P = 0.01). BCVA improved or remained unchanged in 64 eyes (92.8%), VA decreased two lines in five eyes (7.2%). Early postoperative complications included transient corneal edema in seven eyes (10.1%), minor vitreous hemorrhage in four eyes (5.8%), transient elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in one eye (1.4%), and hypotony in three eyes (4.3%). Late postoperative complications included persistent elevated IOP in five eyes (7.2%), epiretinal membrane formation in three eyes (4.3%), and cystoid macular edema noted in one eye (1.4%). Conclusion Use of a scleral-fixated intraocular lens implantation without conjunctival peritomies and sclerotomy in ocular trauma patients during either primary pars plana vitrectomy or second silicone oil removal is a valuable approach for the management of traumatic aphakia in the absence of capsular support.

Aim: The aim of this study was to study the safety and efficacy of posterior capsulorhexis in vitrectomized eyes undergoing combined phacoemulsification or irrigation/aspiration and silicone oil removal. Methods: This prospective non-randomized interventional study involved 115 silicone-filled eyes of 115 previously vitrectomized patients. All patients underwent combined phacoemulsification or underwent irrigation/aspiration and silicone oil removal, followed by foldable intraocular lens implantation combined with primary posterior trans-scleral capsulorhexis. A 23-gauge trans-scleral vitrectomy probe was used to form the posterior capsulorhexis (vitrectorhexis). Patients were followed for 6 months. Results: Intraocular lenses maintained good centration in the capsular bag during and after trans-scleral posterior capsulorhexis. No complications were observed in the postoperative period regarding lens centration or size of the posterior capsulorhexis. No included eyes needed YAG laser posterior capsulotomy and no recurrent retinal detachment was reported during follow-up. Conclusion: Performing primary trans-scleral capsulorhexis in patients undergoing combined phacoemulsification, or irrigation/aspiration and silicone oil removal, enabled achievement of an early postoperative clear visual axis and prevented the onset of dense postoperative posterior capsular opacification in previously silicone-filled eyes. This technique is reproducible and may facilitate additional intra-operative procedures and uncomplicated postoperative follow-up of retinal detachment patients without requiring YAG laser capsulotomy.
