abstract = {To evaluate anatomical and visual outcomes of 23-gauge vitrectomy for recurrent retinal detachment in silicone oil-filled eyes with silicone oil in situ. The records of nineteen patients who undergone reoperation with 23-gauge vitrectomy for recurrent retinal detachment in silicone oil-filled eyes were retrospectively reviewed. During the surgeries, three 23-gauge cannulas were placed and the inferotemporal cannula was connected to automated silicone oil pump, the surgery steps were similar to conventional vitrectomy with subretinal fluid drainage, empiretinal membrane pleading, relaxing retinotomy and endophotocoagulation. In all, fifteen of the cases had retinal breaks in the inferior quadrants; recurrent retinal detachment was due to Proliferative Vitreoretinopathy (PVR) in four other cases. The retina was attached at the last follow-up vist in eighteen of the nineteen eyes. Simplified 23-gauge vitrectomy with silicone oil in situ for recurrent retinal detachment in silicone oil-filled eyes is a simplified and useful method.}
