Title: Scleral buckling for recurrent retinal detachment in silicone oil-tamponaded eyes
Abstract: Objective To evaluate the clinic curative effect of scleral buckling for recurrent retinal detachment in silicone oil-tamponaded eyes ,and to analyze the feature of these eyes. Methods To review the records of 26 silicone oil-tamponnaded eyes with recurrent retinal detachment which were treated by scleral buckling.Results 23 cases showed recurrent inferior retinal detachment; in 2 eyes the recurrent retinal detachement occurred in the early period ,8 eyes in the mid-period and 16 eyes in the late; old retinal tears were not blocked in 2 eyes and new holes were found in 24 eyes; the reformation of proliferation was found in 14 eyes;the retina had been reattached after scleral buckling in 24 eyes.13 eyes' vision had risen,11 at the same level and 2 fallen down. Conclusion Recurrent retinal detachment in silicone oil-tamponaded often occurred in the inferior,scleral buckling is an effective treatment for recurrent retinal detachment in some silicone oil-tamponaded eyes which have clear peripheral retinal tears and unobvious proliferation.
