Endo-illumination-aided SB combined with IVT hyaluronate for RRD

7 April 2021 | | Retina / Uvea / Vitreous | Endo-illumination, Intravitreal injection of hyaluronate, Noncontact wide-angle viewing system, Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, Scleral buckling

The authors report a retrospective non-randomised control trial that evaluated the efficacy and safety of 25-gauge illumination-aided scleral buckling (SB) combined with hyaluronate injection for the treatment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). Forty-five cases were included in this study. Twenty-five...

Silicone oil in rhegmatogenous retinal detachment

5 June 2020 | | Retina / Uvea / Vitreous | Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, epiretinal membrane, macular edema, optical coherence tomography, silicone oil tamponade

Silicone oil (SO), used in complicated retinal detachments, is associated with complications such as cataract, increased intraocular pressure (IOP), keratopathy, cystoid macular oedema (CMO), epiretinal membrane (ERM) and loss of vision. Emulsification of oil can also lead to migration of...
