Abstract
Background
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of heavy silicone oil Oxane Hd as intraocular tamponade in the treatment of complicated retinal detachment (RD).
Methods
Forty eyes of 40 patients with complicated RD were recruited for this prospective study. Inclusion criteria were proliferative vitreoretinopathy grade ≥ CP2, mainly inferior and posterior retinal breaks, or superior retinal breaks with patient’s inability to posture. Oxane Hd was used as intraocular tamponade. The retinal status, the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) results, and any complications were observed.
Results
The mean duration of Oxane Hd endotamponade was 87.9 ± 10.4 days, and the mean follow-up time after Oxane Hd removal was 438.1 ± 153.7 days. The primary anatomical success rate after Oxane Hd removal was 87.5%, and with further intervention 97.5%. The BCVA significantly improved, from mean logMAR 2.12 ± 0.60 to 1.38 ± 0.59 (P < 0.001). The postoperative complications included temporary inflammatory reaction, moderately high intraocular pressure, heavy silicone oil emulsification, lens opacity and retinal proliferative membranes.
Conclusions
Without a requirement for postoperative prone position, heavy silicone oil Oxane Hd is effective and safe for the treatment of complicated RD with inferior and posterior breaks. Larger groups and a longer follow-up period will be included to further evaluate the efficacy with Oxane Hd in superior retinal breaks.
