Factors having implications on re-retinal detachments after silicone oil removal.

Aim: To investigate factors having implications on re-retinal detachments (reRD) after silicone oil removal (SOR).

Materials And Methods: A retroprospective study of 412 eyes (with attached retina after vitrectomy with silicone oil for rhegmatogenous RD) which underwent SOR was conducted and were followed up for six months after SOR. They were studied for various factors like encirclage, 360° retinopexy, oil emulsification at the time of SOR, duration of oil tamponade and previous retinal surgeries prior to SOR with their implications on reRD after SOR.
