“…The literature shows a substantial increase in successful anatomic reattachment of the retina following introduction of intraocular silicone oil tamponade for the treatment of recurrent retinal detachment secondary to proliferative vitreoretinopathy. 20,21 Unfortunately, visually disabling corneal decompensation is a frequent long-term complication following contact between silicone oil and CE, 9,22 particularly in aphakic eyes. 10 However, the mechanism of pathogenesis of CE damage associated with silicone oil is not yet clear.…”

“…Since the studies of Gonvers (1982Gonvers ( , 1985Gonvers ( , 1990, retinal surgeons try to remove the oil from selected eyes after complex vitreoretinal surgery. It is known that silicone oil removal carries a certain risk of postoperative retinal detachment (McCuen 1985;Federman & Schubert 1988;Zilis et al 1989;Gonvers 1990;Hö ing et al 1991;Franks & Leaver 1991;Silicone Study Group 1994;Bodanowitz 1996).…”

ABSTRACT.Purpose: To evaluate the causes of retinal detachment after silicone oil removal, to define possible risk factors and the anatomical and functional prognosis of this complication. Methods: 112 eyes that underwent silicone oil removal were included. The group of eyes with retinal detachment after oil removal (18/112 eyes, 16.1%) was compared with the group with no postoperative retinal detachment. Results: The most common cause for retinal detachment after oil removal was anterior PVR (77.8%). Initial PVR detachment, advanced PVR stages, anterior PVR, more preceding operations, aphakia/pseudophakia, myopia and shorter duration of the oil tamponade were significantly more represented in the group of eyes with retinal detachment after oil removal. The prognosis of retinal detachment after oil removal is poor. Conclusion: Some criteria could be regarded as risk factors for retinal detachment after silicone oil removal. Improvement of the results should be possible by considering these factors and by control of reproliferations.

“…The oil removal rate in this multicenter study varied from 20% to 75% among the 13 centers involved. However, there are publications in literature concerning results after silicone oil removal Silicone Study Group 1994;Gonvers 1982Gonvers ,1985Gonvers and 1990Casswell & Gregor 1987;Zilis et al 1989;Hoing et al 1991;Franks & Leaver 1991;Nawrocki et al 1993;Gnad et al 1984), and almost none of them discuss criteria for eye selection. Without defined criteria for oil removal, comparison of the various results seems difficult.…”

“…The occurrence of oil related complications (Chan & Okun 1986;Federman & Schubert 1988;McCuen et al 1985;Lucke et al 1987;Laqua et al 1987) has led to the tendency to remove the oil from selected eyes after a certain filling period. Publications concerning silicone oil removal show good results, however, the results differ widely Silicone Study Group 1994;Gonvers 1982Gonvers ,1985Gonvers and 1990Casswell& Gregor 1987;Zilis et al 1989;Hoing et al 1991;Franks & Leaver 1991;Nawrocki et al 1993). Until today, there are no clear recommendations concerning basic criteria for oil removal.…”
