Comparison of outcomes for traumatic retinal detachment surgery using 1000- or 5000-centistoke silicone oil

To compare the efficacy and complications associated with higher viscosity (5000-centistoke) versus lower viscosity (1000-centistoke) silicone oil in traumatic retinal detachment surgery. Patients who underwent 23-gauge pars plana vitrectomy using 1000- or 5000-centistoke silicone oil to treat retin...

Description
Summary:To compare the efficacy and complications associated with higher viscosity (5000-centistoke) versus lower viscosity (1000-centistoke) silicone oil in traumatic retinal detachment surgery. Patients who underwent 23-gauge pars plana vitrectomy using 1000- or 5000-centistoke silicone oil to treat retinal detachment associated with traumatic globe injury were retrospectively analysed. Anatomical and visual outcomes were compared. Forty-four eyes of 44 patients were included in the study, which included 22 eyes in each group. Patients were significantly younger in the 5000-centistoke group compared to the 1000-centistoke group (median: 22 vs. 54 years old, respectively, p 5/200) at the final follow-up visit was more common in the 1000-centistoke group compared to the 5000-centistoke group (55% vs. 9%, respectively, p
