Clinical observations and occurrence of complications following heavy silicone oil surgery. [PDF]
Biomed Res Int, 2014 Purpose.To demonstrate development and complications in heavy silicone oil (HSO) surgery in 100 eyes following primary vitreoretinal surgery.Methods.100 eyes were included in this retrospective study that underwent vitreoretinal surgery using HSO as endotamponade. Indication diagnoses were retinal detachments(n=76), complicated macular holes (MH)(n=20),

Heavy silicone oil versus standard silicone oil as vitreous tamponade in inferior PVR (HSO Study): design issues and implications [PDF]
Acta Ophthalmologica Scandinavica, 2007 Abstract.Purpose: Proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) is the most important reason for blindness following retinal detachment. Presently, vitreous tamponades such as gas or silicone oil cannot contact the lower part of the retina. A heavier‐than‐water tamponade displaces the inflammatory and PVR‐stimulating environment from the inferior area of the ...

Flow Behavior of Heavy Silicone Oil During Eye Movements [PDF]
Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science, 2014 Currently there are various heavy silicone oil (HSO) tamponade agents available for treating inferior retinal diseases. Most of these HSO agents are either homogeneous liquids or a mixture of two components. Variations in their emulsification rates in vivo have been reported. In this study, we investigated their flow behaviors during eye-like movements.
