Removal of 5000 Centistokes Silicone Oil using 25G Vitrectomy Technique

By Shlomit Schaal, M.D., Ph.D, Yoreh Barak, M.D., and Lana Rifkin, M.D.

Shlomit Schaal, M.D., Ph.D, Yoreh Barak, M.D., and Lana Rifkin, M.D. present the removal of 5000 Centistokes silicone oil using a sutureless 25G vitrectomy technique. A 54-year-old Caucasian female underwent scleral buckling and 20G vitrectomy surgery with 5000 centistokes silicone oil injection for the repair of a retinal detachment with proliferative vitreo-retinopathy. Silicone oil removal was performed six months later. The video presents the insertion of three 25G trocars in a beveled manner and silicone vacuum tube connection to an adapter which is placed over the superior temporal port. Aspiration and removal of silicone oil and fluid air exchange to washout any remnant oil bubbles followed by removal of the trocars is demonstrated.
