Fig. 8.36 This patient had CP12 and CA12 PVR after only 2 months Fig. 8.37 See previous figure of RRD with an open funnel configuration. The eye required a PPV
with membrane peel and 270° retinectomy with silicone oil insertion (see Fig. 8.37)
of the aqueous is removed before removing the heavy liquid, so that the heavy liquid can be pushed posteriorly, allowing subretinal fluid to be pushed laterally, and aspirated. Once the retina has opened out, apply three rows of laser to the posterior edge of the retinectomy. There is a risk, of course, in this scenario that the PVR process will overcome the tamponading effect of the silicone oil, and that the retina roll up. The patient should know that the prognosis for this eye is poor, and that the surgery is only to preserve some vision of a low grade.
8.4.9Choice of Endotamponade
8.4.9.1 Silicone Oil or Perfluoropropane Gas
Both long-acting tamponade agents have been used in PVR (Silicone Study Report 2). The silicone oil study suggested that success rates of 61–73 % can be achieved with either agent. Although for patients without previous surgery gas was slightly better at achieving surgical attachment, there was also a higher chance of hypotony, 31 % versus 18 % (Barr et al. 1993). In most circumstances, opt for silicone oil insertion to avoid a catastrophic postoperative retinal detachment with severe PVR leading to hypotony and phthisis.
Surgical Pearl of Wisdom
A preoperative complication, despite all efforts to avoid it, which happens again and again, is subretinal migration of silicone oil. This basically can only occur when the retina is still under tension.
Fig. 8.38 A subretinal band is removed through a retinotomy, by rolling the fibrosis onto the instrument (like spaghetti onto a fork); the band is removed without traction on the retinotomy and without movement of the instrument spatially within the eye
Severe retinal detachment with retinal contraction, traumatic tractional detachment and/or large retinal tears with intraoperative persistence or postoperative formation of vitreoretinal proliferation may favour this complication. However, it is nearly always combined
