ABSTRACT
Objective To study clinical application and complication of heavy silicon oil (Densiron68) in the treatment of traumat- ic proliferative vitreoretinopathy.Design Non-comparatives,retrospective case series.Participants Twenty patients with proliferative vitreoretinopathy resulting from ocular trauma were recruited,whose retinal detachment arising from inferior or posterior retinal breaks. Methods Heavy silicon oil was applied to patients during vitrectomy.Silicone oil or gas was applied to patients with redetachment after heavy silicon oil was removed.Main Outcome Measures The rate of retinal attachment,vision,intraocular pressure,inflammatory re- action of anterior segment and silicone oil emulsification period.Results The rate of retinal attachment with one operation using heavy silicon oil was 50%(10/20 eyes)and 15%(3/20 eyes)with further surgery.The average follow-up time was 3.90?1.41 months.At the end of the follow-up,all tamponade agents were removed in 50% patients.Patients' logMAR vision after the surgery was 2.19?0.86,which was better than before the surgery (2.63?1.00) (P=0.037).There was little evidence of high intraocular pressure,excessive inflammatory reaction of anterior segment and cornea endothelial cell damage,but cataract became more serious without exception.Emulsification rate was 100% and the average emulsification period was 2.18?0.87 months.Conclusions Heavy silicon oil tamponade in vitreoretinal surgery for traumatic proliferative vitreoretinopathy has good efficacy and relatively few complications.However,its emulsification period is relatively short,which may constraint its application to a certain extent.
