Retinal redetachment after silicone oil removal: a risk factor analysis.

Purpose: To report the rate of retinal redetachment after silicone oil removal following rhegmatogenous retinal detachment surgery and to determine potential risk factors.

Methods: Retrospective observational case series of 161 eyes who underwent rhegmatogenous retinal detachment surgery and subsequent silicone oil removal. Pre- and intraoperative risk factors were evaluated using univariate and multivariate logistic regression.
