Silicone oil tamponade in the vitreoretinal surgery

L Heremans et al. Bull Soc Belge Ophtalmol. 1999.

Abstract

This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the influence of a temporary silicone oil (SiO) tamponade on intraocular pressure (IOP). We reviewed 131 procedures with a temporary SiO tamponade for different indications. Visual outcome and anatomic results after the SiO removal were also analyzed. Relatively good visual and anatomic results can be achieved by a temporary SiO tamponade with an acceptable complication rate.
