We recorded perioperative factors with the potential to influence functional outcome including duration from the injury to intervention; causes for ocular trauma; open globe or closed globe injury; grade of vitreous hemorrhage; grade of endophthalmitis; grade of retinal detachment; size and location of intraocular foreign body (IOFB); extent and position of retinal defect; grade of proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR); type of surgery; perioperative complications and tamponade agent. The follow-up time was from 3 to 18 months, and the mean time was 12 months.RESULTS: After a mean follow-up period of 12 months (3-18 months) 10.53% (2/19) of eyes had visual acuity of between 20/60 and 20/400, 52.63% (10/19) had visual acuity less than 20/400 but more than NLP, and 36.84% (7/19) remained NLP. Visual acuity was improved from NLP to light perception (LP) or better in 63.16% (12/19) of eyes and the rate of complete retinal reattachment was 73.68% (14/19). Good visual acuity all resulted from those patients of blunt trauma with intact eyewall (closed globe injury). The perioperative factors of poor visual acuity prognosis included delayed intervention; open globe injury; endophthalmitis; severe retinal detachment; large IOFB; macular defect; a wide range of retinal defects andsevere PVR.CONCLUSION: The main reasons of NLP after ocular trauma are severe vitreous hemorrhage opacity; refractive media opacity; retinal detachment; retinal and uveal damages and defects, especially defects of the macula; PVR and endophthalmitis. NLP after ocular trauma in some cases does not mean permanent vision loss. Early intervention of vitrectomy combined with silicone oil tamponade and achieving retinal reattachment of the remaining retina, may make the severely traumatized eyes regain the VA of LP or better.展开更多

A silicone sponge sutured directly across the macular region was performed on the silicone oil filled eyes. Silicone oil was removed no sooner than 1 month post- EMB. The duration of follow -up time after removal of silicone oil was more than 3 months.RESULTS: Retinas of five eyes were all reattached at the last follow-up. The postoperative vision ranged from counting fingers to 0.08.CONCLUSION: Anatomical results improved after EBM for posterior retinal detachment in silicone oil filled eyes associated with myopic macular hole, which was not evident for visual outcome.展开更多

METHODS: We reported a four years retrospective case series of 143 patients with complex retinal detachments who underwent intraocular silicone oil tamponade. Analysis between anatomic and visual outcomes, baseline demographics, duration of tamponade and number of surgical procedures were carried out using Fisher's exact test and unpaired two-tailed t-test. RESULTS: One hundred and six patients(76.2%) had undergone silicone oil removal at the time of review with 96 patients(90.6%) showing retinal reattachment following oil removal. Duration of tamponade was not associated with final reattachment rate or with a deterioration in best corrected visual acuity(BCVA). Patients with oil removed had a significantly better baseline and final BCVA compared to those under oil tamponade(P=0.0001, 〈0.0001 respectively). CONCLUSION: Anatomic and visual outcomes in this cohort are in keeping with those reported in the literature. Favorable outcomes were seen with oil removal but duration of oil tamponade does not affect final attachment rate with modern surgical techniques and should be managed on a case by case basis.展开更多

METHODS: The medical and surgical records of 690 patients(798 eyes) who underwent primary diabetic vitrectomy at a tertiary eye hospital in China from January 2018 to December 2018 were reviewed in this retrospective cohort study. The patients’ baseline characteristics and preoperative treatments were recorded. The binary Logistic regression model was used to evaluate the risk factors for the use of silicone oil as endotamponade agent during primary vitrectomy for proliferative diabetic retinopathy(PDR)-related complications.RESULTS: Among 690 patients with mean age of 52.1±10.5 y(range: 18-85 y), 299/690(43.3%) were female. The 31.6% of the eyes received preoperative laser treatment, and 72.4% of the eyes received preoperative anti-VEGF adjuvant therapy. Non-clearing vitreous haemorrhage(VH) alone or combined with retinal detachment was the main surgical indication(89.5%) for primary vitrectomy. Silicone oil was used as endotamponade in 313(39.2%) eyes. Lack of preoperative laser treatment [odds ratio(OR) 0.66, 95% confidence interval(CI): 0.48-0.92;P=0.015] and older age(OR 0.96, 95%CI: 0.95-0.98;P<0.001) were predictors of silicone oil tamponade during primary vitrectomy for PDR. CONCLUSION: The lack of preoperative laser treatment is a significant predictor of silicone oil tamponade during primary vitrectomy for PDR. However, the severity of PDR relevant to silicone oil use should be further evaluated.展开更多

Forty-nin...AIM: To assess the efficacy and safety of a heavy silicone oil(Densiron 68) in the management of inferior retinal detachment recurrence.METHODS: A retrospective non-comparative consecutive case series study. Forty-nine cases of complex inferior retinal detachment were treated using Densiron 68 heavy silicone oil(HSO) as the endotamponade. Our main purpose was anatomic reattachment following Densiron 68 removal. Functional outcomes, rate of recurrences, the presence of inflammatory complications and intraocular pressure alterations were evaluated. RESULTS: Forty-nine patients affected by complex retinal re-detachment were recruited. The mean follow-up was 7.6(±1.5) mo. The mean best corrected visual acuity after Densiron 68 removal was 0.95 log MAR, standard error(SE: 0.068). Retinal reattachment was 61.2% after first surgery and 81.6% after second surgery. Nineteen cases(38.8%) had recurrences when intraocular heavy silicon oil was in situ, 26.3%(5 cases) of which involved the inferior retina. CONCLUSION: Densiron 68 efficiently fills the inferior retinal periphery and might lower the risk of inferior proliferative vitreoretinopathy development, in particular after a standard silicon oil tamponade that reduces the proliferative process in the upper quadrants of the retina.展开更多

文摘AIM: To evaluate the efficacy of surgical treatment of vitrectomy combined with silicone oil tamponade in the treatment of severely traumatized eyes with the visual acuity of no light perception (NLP).METHODS: This was a retrospective uncontrolled interventional case-series of 19 patients of severely traumatized eyes with NLP who underwent vitrectomy surgery at the Affiliated Hospital of Medical College, Qingdao University (Qingdao, China) during a 3-year period. We recorded perioperative factors with the potential to influence functional outcome including duration from the injury to intervention; causes for ocular trauma; open globe or closed globe injury; grade of vitreous hemorrhage; grade of endophthalmitis; grade of retinal detachment; size and location of intraocular foreign body (IOFB); extent and position of retinal defect; grade of proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR); type of surgery; perioperative complications and tamponade agent. The follow-up time was from 3 to 18 months, and the mean time was 12 months.RESULTS: After a mean follow-up period of 12 months (3-18 months) 10.53% (2/19) of eyes had visual acuity of between 20/60 and 20/400, 52.63% (10/19) had visual acuity less than 20/400 but more than NLP, and 36.84% (7/19) remained NLP. Visual acuity was improved from NLP to light perception (LP) or better in 63.16% (12/19) of eyes and the rate of complete retinal reattachment was 73.68% (14/19). Good visual acuity all resulted from those patients of blunt trauma with intact eyewall (closed globe injury). The perioperative factors of poor visual acuity prognosis included delayed intervention; open globe injury; endophthalmitis; severe retinal detachment; large IOFB; macular defect; a wide range of retinal defects andsevere PVR.CONCLUSION: The main reasons of NLP after ocular trauma are severe vitreous hemorrhage opacity; refractive media opacity; retinal detachment; retinal and uveal damages and defects, especially defects of the macula; PVR and endophthalmitis. NLP after ocular trauma in some cases does not mean permanent vision loss. Early intervention of vitrectomy combined with silicone oil tamponade and achieving retinal reattachment of the remaining retina, may make the severely traumatized eyes regain the VA of LP or better.
文摘AIM:To evaluate the safety and efficacy of Densiron 68 heavy silicone oil (HSO) tamponade for complicated retinal detachment(RD)in Chinese eyes.METHODS:Twenty-one eyes of 21 patients with complicated RD were included in this retrospective study.All patients underwent pars plana vitrectomy with an internal tamponade using Densiron 68 HSO.Anatomical and functional results and complications were evaluated,including retinal status,visual acuity(VA),intraocular pressure(IOP),intraocular inflammation,lens opacity,and HSO emulsification.RESULTS:Allthepatients were followed up for 3mo to1y(5.8±1.16mo).Retinal reattachment was achieved in 19of 21 patients(90.5%).VA improved in 18 of 21 patients(85.7%),from 1.93 logMAR(±0.48)to 1.52 logMAR(±0.45)(P=0.001).Postoperative complications included early dispersion of HSO in 7 eyes(38.8%),cataract in 10 of 18phakic eyes(55.5%),moderate postoperative inflammation reaction in 10 eyes(47.6%),and elevated IOP in 5 eyes(23.8%),all of which were controlled by medication or by surgery.CONCLUSION:Highanatomical and functional success rates can be achieved with primary vitrectomy for complicated RD by using Densiron 68 HSO;however,it should not be ignored that Densiron 68 HSO can cause some complications in the eye.
文摘BACKGROUND At present,silicone oil has been widely used in vitrectomy to deal with complex fundus diseases.Usually,cataract extraction is combined with vitrectomy.However,reducing the complications of silicone oil tamponade and facilitating the secondary implantation of intraocular lens(IOL)are still an urgent problem.AIM To evaluate the clinical effect of vitrectomy combined with peripheral capsule preservation(PCP)in eyes with silicone oil tamponade.METHODS This single-center retrospective analysis included 70 patients(73 eyes)who underwent vitrectomy and silicone oil tamponade combined with cataract surgery(stage I)between January 2015 and July 2019.All patients underwent selective reoperation for silicone oil extraction and IOL implantation(stage II)more than 3 mo after stage I.These patients were divided into three groups according to the different lens capsule preservation methods:28 patients(31 eyes)in a whole capsule preserved(WCP)group,17(17 eyes)in a capsule absent(CA)group,and 25(25 eyes)in a peripheral capsule preserved(PCP)group.Intraocular pressure(IOP),best-corrected visual acuity,surgery time,and other complications were recorded at each time point(1 d,1 wk,and 1 mo after stages I and II).RESULTS The IOP values were 14.9±8.2 mmHg in the WCP group,20.3±13.0 mmHg in the CA group,and 14.2±9.7 mmHg in the PCP group(P<0.05)at 1 mo after stage I operation.Five eyes had IOP higher than 30 mmHg,and one eye in the WCP group appeared to have silicone oil entering the anterior chamber.There was no significant difference in IOP among the three groups at any other time point(P>0.05).With IOL implantation,visual acuity improved significantly compared to stage I.The incidence rate of posterior capsule opacity was higher in the WCP group than in the other groups(P<0.001).In the CA group,IOL deviation due to suture relaxation occurred in one case.There was no significant difference in the surgery time among the three groups in stage I(P=0.618).In stage II,the surgery time of the PCP group and WCP group was significantly shorter than that of the AC group(P=0.031).CONCLUSION Preservation of the peripheral capsule in vitrectomy combined with lens removal is a better option.This method has significant advantages in reducing intraoperative and postoperative complications.

文摘AIM: To identify the predictive factors and laser photocoagulation associated with the use of silicone oil as endotamponade during primary diabetic vitrectomy. METHODS: The medical and surgical records of 690 patients(798 eyes) who underwent primary diabetic vitrectomy at a tertiary eye hospital in China from January 2018 to December 2018 were reviewed in this retrospective cohort study. The patients’ baseline characteristics and preoperative treatments were recorded. The binary Logistic regression model was used to evaluate the risk factors for the use of silicone oil as endotamponade agent during primary vitrectomy for proliferative diabetic retinopathy(PDR)-related complications.RESULTS: Among 690 patients with mean age of 52.1±10.5 y(range: 18-85 y), 299/690(43.3%) were female. The 31.6% of the eyes received preoperative laser treatment, and 72.4% of the eyes received preoperative anti-VEGF adjuvant therapy. Non-clearing vitreous haemorrhage(VH) alone or combined with retinal detachment was the main surgical indication(89.5%) for primary vitrectomy. Silicone oil was used as endotamponade in 313(39.2%) eyes. Lack of preoperative laser treatment [odds ratio(OR) 0.66, 95% confidence interval(CI): 0.48-0.92;P=0.015] and older age(OR 0.96, 95%CI: 0.95-0.98;P<0.001) were predictors of silicone oil tamponade during primary vitrectomy for PDR. CONCLUSION: The lack of preoperative laser treatment is a significant predictor of silicone oil tamponade during primary vitrectomy for PDR. However, the severity of PDR relevant to silicone oil use should be further evaluated.
文摘AIM: To assess the efficacy and safety of a heavy silicone oil(Densiron 68) in the management of inferior retinal detachment recurrence.METHODS: A retrospective non-comparative consecutive case series study. Forty-nine cases of complex inferior retinal detachment were treated using Densiron 68 heavy silicone oil(HSO) as the endotamponade. Our main purpose was anatomic reattachment following Densiron 68 removal. Functional outcomes, rate of recurrences, the presence of inflammatory complications and intraocular pressure alterations were evaluated. RESULTS: Forty-nine patients affected by complex retinal re-detachment were recruited. The mean follow-up was 7.6(±1.5) mo. The mean best corrected visual acuity after Densiron 68 removal was 0.95 log MAR, standard error(SE: 0.068). Retinal reattachment was 61.2% after first surgery and 81.6% after second surgery. Nineteen cases(38.8%) had recurrences when intraocular heavy silicon oil was in situ, 26.3%(5 cases) of which involved the inferior retina. CONCLUSION: Densiron 68 efficiently fills the inferior retinal periphery and might lower the risk of inferior proliferative vitreoretinopathy development, in particular after a standard silicon oil tamponade that reduces the proliferative process in the upper quadrants of the retina.

文摘AIM:To describe the clinical and radiologic features of retrolaminar migration silicone oil(SiO)and observe the dynamic position of ventricular oil accumulation in supine and prone.METHODS:For this retrospective study,29 patients who had a history of SiO injection treatment and underwent unenhanced head computed tomography(CT)were included from January 2019 to October 2022.The patients were divided into migration-positive and negative groups.Clinical history and CT features were compared using Whitney U and Fisher’s exact tests.The dynamic position of SiO was observed within the ventricular system in supine and prone.CT images were visually assessed for SiO migration along the retrolaminar involving pathways for vision(optic nerve,chiasm,and tract)and ventricular system.RESULTS:Intraocular SiO migration was found in 5 of the 29 patients(17.24%),with SiO at the optic nerve head(n=1),optic nerve(n=4),optic chiasm(n=1),optic tract(n=1),and within lateral ventricles(n=1).The time interval between SiO injection and CT examination of migration-positive cases was significantly higher than that of migration-negative patients(22.8±16.5mo vs 13.1±2.6mo,P<0.001).The hyperdense lesion located in the frontal horns of the right lateral ventricle migrated to the fourth ventricle when changing the position from supine to prone.CONCLUSION:Although SiO retrolaminar migration is unusual,the clinician and radiologist should be aware of migration routes.The supine combined with prone examination is the first-choice method to confirm the presence of SiO in the ventricular system.
